Guo Peng expressed his interest in Li Dian's approach, so he asked him about the purpose of doing this.

Li Dian replied that he believed that doing so could unlimitedly simulate the situation on the battlefield.

"Our army is mainly engaged in combat. Whether it is siege or field battle, the military formation is the primary priority. The military formation is headed by the large outer shield. Without shields, the military formation cannot form a military formation. The shield-holding soldiers must be tenacious.

I believe that under any circumstances, the shield soldiers cannot panic. If the shields are broken, the formation will be broken. If the formations are broken, the army will be destroyed. The place of life and death must be observed. Therefore, I strictly demand the shield soldiers."

Guo Peng deeply praised it, praised and rewarded Li Dian, believing that his approach is worthy of praise.

Then he ordered Li Dian's ideas to be promoted to the entire army, so that the entire army would pay attention to the training of shield soldiers.

Shoot with arrows without arrows, let the spearmen take wooden sticks to siege, and set a time limit to exercise the shield soldiers' defense ability and stress resistance and enhance their survival rate on the battlefield.

Guo Peng admired Li Dian's caution and fantasy ideas very much, and also liked him very much.

The only thing that is a little dissatisfied is probably that Li Dian acts too cautiously.

It is a kind of morality and a kind of cultivation to face military merits, but if you don’t fight or rob, you will be taken away by others, which is not good.

This will not only fail to play a good role, but will also make the soldiers under your command unreliable and virtuous.

And some people think that Li Dian has noble character and respects him, while others think that Li Dian is easy to bully, so they specifically bully him.

Guo Peng told him more than once not to be too cautious so as not to think that he is easy to bully, but Li Dian still hasn't changed his attitude much.

Guo Peng even felt that Li Dian was becoming more and more Buddhist.

Even if you are surrounded by relatives, you can't just fight for it at all, right?

"Mancheng, this is not the first time I have told you this. Your advantage is modesty and prudence, and your disadvantage is that you are too modesty and prudence. In the army, there are many people who can earn and rob. You don't need to compete with them, but you can't let go of what belongs to you."

Guo Peng came to the military camp to inspect it and was not dissatisfied with Li Dianzhi's army, but he was still dissatisfied with Li Dian himself.

Before leaving the war, Guo Peng wanted to explain this part of the problem to Li Dian so as not to resist by others on the grassland battlefield.

When he fought for military achievements, all his colleagues were good players.

Li Dian seemed to be very open about this.

"As long as Your Majesty knows that I have made military achievements, it is enough. I know that I, Wei, will reward me for me. If that is the case, why should I fight for unnecessary disputes? That should not be what Your Majesty wants to see."

This is indeed not something I want to see.

I'm worried that you will be bullied to death by those bastards.

Guo Peng was angry that he did not fight, but he had no choice but to deal with Li Dian.

The same thing is said, the country is easy to change, but the nature is difficult to change.

Just take care of it a little bit.

Li Dian is not stupid.

I spent a few days inspecting the military camps of each battalion of the Guards, the daily life and daily training of the army, and checking their food conditions, training conditions, sanitation conditions, etc.

Then Guo Peng convened officials from the Ministry of War to hold a meeting with Zhao Yun, and asked the Ministry of War to directly connect with Zhao Yun.

The materials needed for training and preparation are discussed directly with the Ministry of War, and then the Ministry of War will provide them as appropriate. For this reason, the Ministry of War needs to specially draw some officials to be responsible for the supply tasks of the Luoyang garrison.

This is also a relatively large burden for the Ministry of War.

There was really a large number of people busy in Hebei. Even the cabinet's accountants and the Ministry of Civil Affairs and Finance were all transferred to Hebei for help, and the Ministry of War officials were also unable to do anything.

Major corruption cases have been exposed in the Hebei officialdom, involving state officials, county magistrates, county officials, grassroots officials below the county, and their families. The coverage is very wide and involves many people.

A group of people were found before, and as the investigation deepened, another group of people were found. Jizhou was the most, Youzhou was the second, and Bingzhou was the least, but there were a lot of people involved, and six or seven hundred officials were involved.

The rest of the people, including their tribe, family, friends, and some stolen merchants, involved no less than 3,000 of them.

Some of these people were beheaded, and some were exiled to Pingzhou or Liangzhou. None of them had a good ending anyway.

The officials of the Third Division were also very busy.

This wave was not only involved in local officials, but also some central officials were involved. Although there were no direct illegal and corruption, some were clan members and some were relatives, and were involved and punished.

Of course, there are fewer central officials who committed the crime this time.

Luoyang is a power field, and people care more about power, not money.

Only those who have limited futures and are no longer very passionate about power care more about money, and want to make as much money as possible under limited power.

The officials who stared at power in their eyes were not very willing to be involved in this matter.

They are separated from low-level interests, only love and pursue power, are not interested in others, and are more strict in restraining their families and tribesmen, so they are not involved in the anti-corruption campaign.

This wave was not originally targeted at central officials.

Guo Peng originally wanted to crack down on enemy corruption and clean up a group of corrupt officials, and rectify the rear before the war to avoid problems during the war.

Cut off a wave of heads and let the remaining people cheer up and work hard to prepare for logistics.

Now more than 370 officials have been cleaned up in Hebei, and the two prefectures of Yongliang have also cleaned up 257 officials. In these five prefectures, more than 600 officials have been caught.

It is conceivable that these people have been so dirty since Guo Peng established the Duchy of Wei in Jizhou.

During that period, Guo Peng had no time to take care of the issue of administration. He usually chose typical suppression of some things that occurred at the grassroots level, putting some pressure on officials, and did not have large-scale anti-corruption efforts.

So much so that these people have been secretly working in the area for more than ten years.

Finally, during this closing operation, these people were caught by Guo Peng and fell into the net.

Some officials felt that Guo Peng had cleaned too many officials in this wave, and the punishment was mostly beheading, which would kill too many people, which would hurt the harmony between the king and the ministers, and would probably be unfavorable to national governance.

Moreover, new officials need to be selected, and it takes time to manage local governments at the top. If too many officials are punished in one go, it will cause chaos in the local area.

So they suggested that Guo Peng reduce some punishments and not kill officials so cruelly.

After receiving the memorial, Guo Peng was furious.

"I often embezzle hundreds of thousands of dollars, hundreds of thousands of dollars, or even millions of dollars! I treat the national treasury as their own! I am cruel to them? How innocent the people are!"

In a rage, Guo Peng dismissed all the dozen officials who had advised him and rushed back to his hometown, and ordered them not to be re-activated within ten years as a punishment.

Then, judicial officials from the three prefectures of Hebei were strictly ordered to behead corrupt officials and never let anyone go.

So at the end of December of the fourth year of Yande, more than 370 officials from the three prefectures of Hebei were headed one after another, and thousands of people, including their families, friends who participated in the matter, familiar merchants, and others, were also confiscated and exiled in batches.

Or go to Liangzhou, or go to Pingzhou, or go to Jingnan and southern Yangzhou.

The money obtained by these people's house searches is worth nearly 200 million yuan, which is completely unavailable to the money that can be obtained through normal channels.

After this wave of large-scale arrests, home confiscations and beheadings, officials from the Three Divisions reported that many local people were running around and celebrating each other. It can be seen that over the years, this group of people not only tampered with national finances, but also the local commoners were oppressed.

According to further investigations, these people have intervened even in tax issues.

The Central Ministry of Finance knows nothing about the population and taxation intervention in some places, modifying data, etc., and does not even find them under the oppression of big data, which shows how clever the means are.

This really touched Guo's rebellious scales, so no matter what, Guo also wanted to kill this group of people and kill the chicken to warn the monkeys. We must never let people attack the local system of the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of War.

The erosion of the local systems of the Central Ministry of War and the Ministry of Finance has violated the fundamental interests of Mr. Guo, and Mr. Guo will never tolerate this.

The central government offices were solemn, while the Hebei officialdom was solemn.

By the time this news spread across the country, it was already the end of the first month of the fifth year of Yande.
