Xiahou was initially shocked by Cao Song's suggestion.

However, after Cao Song's analysis, Xiahou also understood.

They had already bet on Guo Peng, and they had both prospered and lost. There was nothing to say, so go take refuge first.

Not only that, Cao Song and Xiahou also gave Guo Peng a big gift together.

They can pack and take away the soft soft products, such as land and houses, etc., and Guo Peng can sell them by himself. The money obtained from the sale is treated as military expenses, so that Guo Peng can recruit soldiers and expand his strength.

Cao Song's approach surprised Guo Peng.

After all, he was a master who had been an official in the court, so Cao Song should have heard his subtext.

Invest in me thoroughly. You have no other choice except me. Do your best to make me stronger so that you can have glory and wealth under my protection.

Guo Peng's words can be said to be very honest.

The Cao family and the Xiahou family did not have a better choice. The best children all played in Guo Peng's army, and the future of the family was in Guo Peng's hands. What else can I say?

The Cao family and the Xiahou family fell to Guo Peng together, entrusting their family interests and future, and fighting for Guo Peng wholeheartedly, prospering and losing.

In addition, Cao Chun also gave all his property to Guo Peng for the purpose of military funding.

Cao Chi has been dead for many years. When he was an official, he accumulated a lot of wealth. After his death, he was inherited by his two sons, Cao Ren and Cao Chun. Now Cao Chun decided to give him his share to Guo Peng and give it all to Guo Peng for use.

"How can I make my life worse if my elder brother lives a good life? Now I am marching and fighting, so I have no use to ask for these things. I will give them all to my elder brother to help me recruit soldiers and horses."

Cao Chun said with a smile.

Guo Peng sighed very much that he had the rare sincere hugged Cao Chun, and since then he trained Cao Chun as one of his absolute confidants.

Guo Dan finally understood what Guo Peng’s previous warning was going on, and he openly opposed Dong Zhuo, which was to implicate his family.

However, the world is in a vast and powerful way, and Guo Shan also saw that the general trend of the coalition forces in the fight against Dong was achieved, and Dong Zhuo became a minority instead.

"Zifeng, my father is old, and I don't know how to deal with these things. You can sell our property and land for military capital. You can also leave these military soldiers from Peiguo to you. I will let Zhongkang follow you and protect your safety."

Guo Shan gave half of his savings over the years to Guo Peng, and handed over the real estate to Guo Peng for sale, entrusting everything to Guo Peng.

After that, he decided to dissolve the Prime Minister's Mansion and moved to Qingzhou with the Xiahou family of Cao, and directly abandoned his official position.

Among the group of officials who had followed Guo Shan, some of them chose to accept Guo Peng's recruitment and went to Qingzhou to work, while others chose to say goodbye to Guo Shan and his son and find another way out.

Guo Tu, the same tribe, was among the group of people who were looking for another way out. I don’t know how he was thinking. After seeing Guo Jia beside Guo Peng, he decided to find another way out.

Guo Peng didn't care much about whether he left or not, but Xin Ping and Du Xi, who were also from Yingchuan, chose to stay and follow Guo Peng, which made Guo Peng more happy.

So Guo Peng appointed two people as county magistrates to go to Qingzhou to train his administrative abilities.

After dealing with these things, Guo Peng got a lot of money to serve as military funds, and he became more affordable. With such joy, Guo Peng set out to move towards the sour jujube.

At the same time, Sun Jian also led his army to the Luyang County, Nanyang County, where Yuan Shu's garrison was stationed.

Sun Jian responded to Yuan Shu's call, so he naturally sent someone to see Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu was very happy when he learned that Sun Jian had brought tens of thousands of powerful soldiers to join him.

Although you Sun Jian are not very educated, you still have a vision!

Yuan Shu, who was unhappy because he was coldly treated by the heroes of Kanto, suddenly felt that his heart was warm and moisturized, so he accepted Sun Jian's surrender and named Sun Jian the fake general.

At the same time, Yuan Shu was worried that he would not be able to kill Zhang Zi and occupy Nanyang openly. Now that Sun Jian is here, there is a way.

He hopes that Sun Jian can get rid of Zhang Zi.

Yuan Shu sent his staff to guide Sun Jian, and guided Sun Jian on the spot to send gifts to Zhang Zi, and then sent troops to surround Zhang Zi, forcing Zhang Zi to death by the Hongmen Banquet.

After Zhang Zi died, Sun Jian led his troops to Wancheng and occupied Wancheng. He welcomed Yuan Shu to take over. Yuan Shu was overjoyed and reciprocated. He reported that Sun Jian was the governor of Yuzhou and the general of defeating the enemy.

From then on, Yuan Shu owned Nanyang, the largest county in the world with a population of one million. He had solid confidence and logistics base and had the ability to launch a counterattack against Dong Zhuo.

Sun Jian, who helped him do dirty things, also gained great benefits.

The reason why it is not big or small is that the positions Sun Jian obtained were all "expressed" by Yuan Shu, rather than formal imperial edicts from the court.

After the world was in chaos, the road from all over the place to the emperor's place in the capital was not smooth. Even if you could reach the central government, it would not be certain whether the emperor and his ministers could make a decision.

Then the princes from all over the country hold their own troops and respect their own troops. It is hard to say whether they will follow the emperor's orders. If they are beneficial to them, they will follow them, and if they are unfavorable to them, they will find excuses to say that they will not act under the puppet emperor's edict.

At this time, it becomes a process to report something for the emperor to know or ask for instructions, and it is more than one process to actually make his own decisions in the name of the emperor.

It is a sign that the weakness of central power and the strengthening of local strength begins to do their own governance, and it is a sign that the irreversible world begins.

For example, Yuan Shu represented Sun Jian as the governor of Yuzhou, Tao Qian represented Liu Bei as the governor of Yuzhou, and Xuzhou. For example, Cao Cao represented Liu Bei as the governor of Yuzhou, etc., all of them were "expressed" and were the personal will of the princes and had nothing to do with the emperor. The puppet emperor could not limit this behavior of expressing you and me.

Strength is the standard. If you have strength, you will naturally be able to do what you want to do and make the decision on your territory.

But if it is not your territory and you are still a show of your power, then you are just showing off. What's wrong with being a favor?

For example, among the three countries in the later period, each country had its own governor or governor of another state. Except for the territory that he could control, the rest were all pretending.

Yuan Shu is also pretending to behave now. After the defeat of Yuzhou Gang Yichang, the governor of Yuzhou, was unable to get sick. No one came to do it. Yuan Shu represented Sun Jian as the governor of Yuzhou, which is just a casual example.

Anyway, he also knew that the above statement would not take any effort, and he could also get Sun Jian's thanks. Although Yuzhou was not in Yuan Shu's control at all, why not do it?

Sun Jian was so happy that he received the remarks from Yuan Shu that the governor of Yuzhou was so happy that he immediately celebrated with his generals and then began to prepare for the war.

At this time, Yuan Shu also learned about the defeat of Kong Yichang and Wang Kuang, and told Sun Jian that Sun Jian was very afraid of the combat effectiveness of Dong Zhuo's elite troops.

Sun Jian and Dong Zhuo worked with each other, and had seen the army under Dong Zhuo fight with their own eyes. They also had a good understanding of Dong Zhuo's fighting style. They knew that Dong Zhuo was good at fighting, so they did not dare to slack off at all.

So Sun Jian suggested to Yuan Shu.

"Although the general commands tens of thousands of soldiers, most of them are not familiar with fighting. Dong Zhuo's troops followed Dong Zhuo for several years and were very elite. It is unwise to use new recruits to fight against elite soldiers. I suggest that I speed up the training of soldiers, collect intelligence, and make plans."

Yuan Shu thought Sun Jian was professional and believed that his words were credible, so he did what he said.

After practicing troops for a few days, in late July, Yuan Shu received a letter from Guo Peng and was very happy.

"Zifeng said that he had arrived at Sour Jujube and could cooperate with us to attack Luoyang at any time and ask us about our next plan."

Yuan Shu called Sun Jian and told Sun Jian about this matter. Sun Jian said that it would take some time to train soldiers here, and it is better not to rush forward. It is better to train troops and figure out Dong Zhuo's trends.

Although Yuan Shu was anxious, he didn't want to defeat the war, so he wrote to Guo Peng and made an appointment to march until September.

Yuan Shu did not have an attack from Dong Zhuo's army, and it would be fine to advance later, but there was indeed a Dong Zhuo's army coming to attack here, which was a lot of trouble.
