Feudal marquis, two thousand stones.

Indeed, most likely.

But Guo Peng is more sensible.

"It's all possible, but I think at most I will be crowned a township, and it will be difficult to take a higher step, and other credits should be given with other rewards, and I don't have too many expectations in terms of official position, everything is arranged by His Majesty."

Guo Peng smiled and pointed at himself: "After all, I'm only twenty years old, too young." ”

Cao Cao and the other four were right to think about it.

If Guo Peng is thirty years old now, it is estimated that it is possible to be a townsman and a general, but after all, he is still young, and now that he has been awarded such a high title, how will he be crowned if he makes great contributions in the future?

According to the ideas of the people in the court, it must be a lot of experience and a lot of growth and then sealed, this time the most likely is to reward money or reward or pass on the credit to the family, it just so happens that Guo Peng's father Guo Dan is doing the county order of Qiaoxian County, and this time it is estimated that he can be promoted.

"Even so, Zifeng's merits will be remembered by the imperial court, and if there are any opportunities for promotion in the future, Zifeng will also be given priority, and the imperial court will not fail to remember such a great feat."

Cao Cao patted Guo Peng's shoulder and said softly, "Has Zifeng thought about what to do in the future?" If you have an idea, you can say it in advance and inform Duke Lu or your father, and they will try their best to work for you, as long as it is not too much, the court will generally agree. ”

Cao Cao's words were very true, and Guo Peng felt that he had never thought about what he would do in the future.

I want to survive, I want to survive better.

In that case, it is best to follow Cao Cao's trajectory, as Cao Cao's status grows, the tide rises, and his status will gradually grow.

When the time comes, he will naturally get what he wants, so ......

Thinking of this, Guo Peng was silent.

When I thought of following Cao Cao on the trajectory of his life, what was that inexplicable feeling of irritability?

Seems a little unwilling?

A little reluctant?

I......

Guo Peng suddenly couldn't understand his heart.

Didn't he just keep up with Cao Cao's trajectory and protect his family, so he deliberately approached Cao Cao and even became the son-in-law of the Cao family?

If it's not for this, why do you insist on carrying a stain on your life that can't be washed away?

Isn't that a pointless thing?

So I ......

Guo Peng raised his head and looked at Cao Cao for a while, then slowly spoke.

"I want to ...... I wanted to seek an official position on the northern border, a northern official position that could face the enemy Xianbei Xiongnu, and I was more interested in fighting foreign enemies than in quelling civil strife. ”

Cao Cao was a little surprised.

"Has Zifeng decided to take this path in the future?"

Guo Peng nodded and smiled.

"The teacher must be happy, right? And after this war, I found that I seem to have some talent, the northern barbarians have repeatedly violated my Han border, I was powerless in the past, and now I have the opportunity, of course, I want to defend the border for the country and ensure the peace of the land and water! ”

Brother Xiahou and Cao Ren looked at Guo Peng with great appreciation, and Cao Cao also nodded vigorously with excitement on his face.

"What Zifeng thinks is what I think! In that case, I will seek such an official position! Zifeng, you are not alone, at that time, I will go with you! ”

Guo Peng nodded and smiled: "Okay." ”

In the evening, Cao Cao and the other four left, each returned to the tent to rest, Guo Peng extinguished the candle in the tent, closed his clothes and lay down.

Fang Cai, what's the matter with that extremely irritable feeling in my heart?

Guo Peng didn't know his heart, and his ideas about the future seemed to have become a little vague.

His instinct told him that he wanted to go through a little more war, become more mature, more warlike, and more famous, and there seemed to be nothing else he wanted to do.

Is this your true heart?

Guo Peng asked himself, but he didn't get an answer that made him agree.

It seems that he is really confused about the future, and this confusion does not exist, originally he just wanted to live with the thighs of the Cao family, nothing.

But now, that decision seems to have been shaken.

Do you have to follow the trajectory of someone else's life?

Must follow Cao Cao's life trajectory, wait for him to become rich and noble to become the king of Wei above ten thousand people under one person, and then he himself will rise?

Can't walk the path I want to take?

My own way, my own way......

Where is my path?

Guo Peng kept thinking about where his path was.

But soon this thinking was interrupted, because he had a new problem to solve at the moment.

It seems that Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun didn't want him to go to the battlefield to attack the city together, and his soldiers did not get the order to go to the battlefield to participate in the siege.

He went to ask Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, but Huang Fu Song and Zhu Jun were vague, and said kindly that they hoped that Guo Peng would rest more and not get tired.

I believe you're a ghost, two bad old men are very bad.

Guo Peng quickly understood their intentions.

I don't want to let myself take credit!

He and Lu Zhi have made great contributions, which seems to have made them a little anxious, and now that they have been transferred to assist, it is obvious that their spirits are highly nervous.

Forget it, there is no credit worth fighting for here, it doesn't matter, for the sake of a little credit to hurt the feelings of colleagues, you will end up with a reputation of being competitive and inconsiderate of colleagues, which is not worth it.

"I see, having said that, the last general also feels that it is more tiring to run around for days, and the soldiers under his command have been fighting for a long time, and they really need to rest, thank you Huangfu Zhonglang and Zhu Zhonglang for their compassion."

Smiling and clenching his fists, Guo Peng left the tent and went back to the camp to rest.

Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun looked at each other, their faces full of embarrassment.

After Guo Peng returned to the camp, he sent a letter to Lu Zhi quickly, and Lu Zhi told him about the matter here, and a few days later, on the second day of the ninth month, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun got Lu Zhi's letter.

The letter said that Lu Zhi encountered several Yellow Turban Rogues on the road, and Lu Zhi was directing the extermination of the Rogues to maintain local peace, and the arrival time might be delayed, hoping that Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun would forgive him.

What do we forgive!

This old face!

Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song's old faces turned red, and they accelerated the frequency of attacks when they drew their swords and went into battle, and began to attack the city day and night in shifts, giving the Yellow Turban Army great pressure.

Since Guo Peng did not participate in the siege of the city, it was really a little boring to train troops all day, and when he went to the barracks to hang out, he found the tragic situation in the camp of the wounded soldiers, and remembered what he had done in the camp of Guangzong with the Changshui Cavalry.

So Guo Peng decided to return to his old business and make a cameo appearance in a field medical rescue team.

Improving the survival rate of wounded soldiers is a very meaningful thing, and Guo Peng adheres to the concept of saving veterans and not training new soldiers.

The gap between a veteran who has seen blood on the battlefield and a recruit's egg is too big, rather than spending a lot of money to train a recruit's egg, it is better to spend some medicinal money to save a veteran.

What's more, most of the injured people are sword wounds and arrow wounds, and timely rescue can live, it doesn't take too much effort, and it is certainly easier than training recruits.

But in this era, there are really not many people in the upper echelons who are really willing to do this.

They would rather recruit new soldiers than abandon their veterans, leaving him to die of inflammation from his wounds, and there are very few who can be treated.

Guo Peng sent out the original 500 Changshui cavalry who knew how to do it to the military medical officers, and found a few military medical officers to teach the relevant techniques to other soldiers, so that the soldiers and horses under his command could learn the common sense of battlefield emergency rescue, and conduct assault training for bandaging some simple sword wounds and arrow wounds.

After that, Guo Peng took his soldiers and horses to take turns to train and rescue the wounded.

Half of them practiced, and half of them went to the wounded barracks with Guo Peng to treat the wounded soldiers, clean up and bandage the wounds, etc., Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun were very puzzled when they learned about it.

However, it is also surprising that the situation is not prominent in the short term, but after ten days and half a month, as more and more wounded soldiers return from injury, and the army's mortality rate has a tangible and visible decline, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun can no longer ignore it.

This was especially true when they heard that there was a sense of gratitude to Guo Peng and his troops in the army.

Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun combined, and thought that Guo Peng had a grudge because he couldn't go to the battlefield, so he did this.

So they asked Cao Cao to probe Guo Peng's tone and see if Guo Peng really had a grudge.

They were a little embarrassed, too.
