After arranging these demoted officials and civil and military affairs, and truly becoming their own officials, the New Year is approaching.

So, on the last day of the lunar month, Lu Peng specially set up a banquet in his home, inviting Gao Gan and Fu Zhu to participate, and at the same time accompanied by his eldest brother, second brother and fourth brother and Xu Jie, Gao Gan's former colleague Tian Feng, as well as the famous general Zhang He, as well as the cabinet's second assistant Tian Chou, as well as the entire six officials.

In this way, it is equivalent to inviting the most important officials in the entire Youzhou to their homes, and unconsciously, a meeting was held here on the future direction of Youzhou.

At the beginning of the banquet, the first thing to discuss was the arrangement of high-ranking officials and frustrations, which was very important.

The ability of Gao Gan is obvious to all, and his character is noble, and history records that he "has few great ambitions and is good at strategy". In particular, he has a knot, in history, Guandu was captured by Cao Cao and killed without surrendering, but the reason why he did not commit suicide this time was actually thanks to Yuan Shao's surrender to Cao Cao, which made all Yuan Shao's subordinates desperate.

After such a rare person went through this period of observation, he had a sincere conversation with Lu Peng in the inn, so the two of them lost their sincerity to Lu Peng.

The addition of senior cadres allowed Lu Peng to solve a long-standing and difficult problem, that is, among the generals under his command, he was a man of many soldiers, and he lacked cavalry generals. In the north, the most important type of army is the cavalry, so that the 50,000 cavalry developed by Lu Peng had to gather a group because there were no qualified cavalry generals, led by a fourth brother.

Especially now, the territory has expanded, and the contact with the outside is also greater, and what he faced was just a Wu Huan, plus Yuan Shao, but Wu Huan was also destroyed by himself, so at that time, as long as he concentrated on dealing with Yuan Shao, it was done.

Well, now, the expansion of the territory is like a compass circle, and the contact with the outside world will be greater, and there will be more enemies.

Now the external situation in Youzhou is like this.

In the south, there is the unwilling Cao Cao, the great enemy, in the west, there is Ma Teng Han Sui, who is eager to try, in the north is Qianghu Xianbei, who harasses the border at any time, and further east, Fuyu is also eyeing the Wuhuan grassland, and then there is an embarrassing uncle Sun Du.

As far as the eye can see, there are enemies all around, and there is no ally.

So now Lu Peng feels that the power in his hands is not enough at all, so the cavalry group that is floating in the sky must be separated, and one must be taken out to guard against the grassland peoples swimming in the north, and the other is used as a mobile force along the Yellow River to oppress Cao Cao.

Peaceful rise is now the most necessary, but it is also the time when Cao Cao and Yuan Shao are seriously injured in the first battle, and they take advantage of others to strike iron, give him a falling stone and beat the water dog, which is the most effective time to achieve half the result.

Such an opportunity is rare, but now, no matter how Lu Peng looks at these opportunities, he can only stare at them and be helpless.

As soon as he thought of this time, Lu Peng had a headache, this was in ancient times, after every major war, it was necessary to calm down for 3 to 5 years without taking the opportunity to expand the results of the war, mainly because of the low productivity. A big war can consume several years of wealth accumulation for a group, leaving them powerless. Although Lu Peng is a traverser, he is definitely not an immortal who turns stones into gold, so he must follow the law of history, and he can't escape this rule passively.

So now the fence around must be tightened, and the jackals must not be allowed to come in and harm their own things.

The addition of Gao Gan finally made Lu Peng breathe a sigh of relief, so at this banquet, Lu Peng modestly proposed his own arrangements to Gao Gan: "I am going to divide the 50,000 cavalry under my fourth brother into two, divide the north and south groups, the south group, and leave 30,000 people as a maneuver, led by my fourth brother Zhao Yun, his main task is to guard against Cao Cao's abnormal movements." ”

Then he glanced at Zhao Yun, who was smiling and quietly teasing his son, this was a family banquet, and several people's precious children were here, playing and laughing.

Xu Jie stabbed Zhao Yun: "The lord is looking at you." ”

Zhao Yun raised his head and nodded again and again: "The third brother has the final say." In fact, Zhao Yun didn't hear what Lu Peng said at this time, but even if he heard it, Zhao Yun would never object to the arrangement of the third brother Lu Peng, Zhao Yun is like this, he is a revolutionary red brick, where he needs to move, he is a loyal and resolutely obedient old man.

Lu Peng asked Zhao Yun's opinion, and then continued to Gao Gan: "And I will hand over the other half of the 20,000 cavalry to the general, and your task is to take 20,000 cavalry to defend against the alien races in the north. ”

Just this arrangement, not only to hand over the main force of 20,000 most elite cavalry, but to let yourself protect the northern security of the entire Youzhou territory, what kind of trust is this, how many people can be so trusted in life? Immediately let Gao Gansheng follow Lu Peng's mind with a dead heart.

So Gao Gan stood up solemnly, respectfully tidied up his clothes, and then on this Lu Peng's hall, he respectfully knelt down and kowtowed to Lu Peng: "My subordinates only have their livers and brains to die." ”

Lu Peng enjoyed this feeling very much, so he hurriedly stood up and helped Gao Gan, took his hand, and gently patted his shoulder. Then he personally lifted two wine glasses, stuffed one for Gao Gan, took the other and touched it with him, and then drank it all.

Gao Gan also hurriedly drank it all, it seemed that he was too anxious, choked, the corners of his eyes were red, and he quickly wiped it with his sleeve in embarrassment.

After arranging the senior cadres, Lu Peng turned his head and looked at Fu Zhu again: "Mr. Dacai, how can you bury it?" There is also a gentleman who can be literate and martial, and it is rare to strategize, so I also ask Mr. to be my fourth brother's assistant, and Tian Feng's military division can assist me in controlling the overall situation with peace of mind.

Frustrated with a reddish face raised his glass: "I will definitely help the four generals and never let Cao Thief cross the Yellow River for a single step." "To deal with Cao Cao, the great enemy who made their group go up in smoke, Fu Zhi is absolutely willing to do it.

Lu Peng gladly accepted it and killed it in one gulp: "The Yellow River moat, with Mr. and the fourth brother, I will sit back and relax." ”

This arrangement has been decided, Zhao Yun immediately put down his own people, walked in front of Fu Zhu, and gave Fu Zhu a deep salute: "The next generation boy, his ability is limited, please ask Mr. for more advice in the future." ”

frustrated and replied, but said: "I have a bad mouth, and I will speak bluntly when I see anything inappropriate, and I will inevitably make the four generals unhappy in the future. ”

An upright person is an upright person, and this joke made everyone feel very unfunny, and it was very embarrassing.

Lu Peng immediately came out to play a round: "Sir, don't worry, this kid will dare to sue you in front of me in the future, whether it is right or wrong, I will give you 30 lashes first." ”

Saying this, everyone couldn't help laughing, and the atmosphere eased again, so those colleagues who were originally frustrated with senior cadres stepped forward one after another to congratulate the two people from the bottom of their hearts, and the senior cadres and frustrated teachers also returned the salute one after another.

In short, the whole group is full of rigidity and lifelessness, just like a dying old man, exuding a kind of death from top to bottom.

And here, whether it is a civil servant or a military general, in the face of this young enviable lord, with casualness in respect, this lord also exudes a kind of tolerance and generosity from the whole body, every word, every smile, makes people feel like a spring breeze.

In this lord's body, a person's body is surging with a sense of vitality, this is a vigorous team, this is a positive team, this is a team with great hope, this is a team that people envy and are willing to integrate, well, well, well, good.
