In mid-October of Chuping, Guo Peng received news again that the Yellow Turban Army that invaded Taishan County had developed and strengthened with Taishan County.

In a few months, the Yellow Turban Army showed its amazing tenacious vitality, and its power spread to Jibei, Lu, and Rencheng, and was still spreading westward, becoming a spike of sparks.

Liu Dai sent troops to wipe out the Yellow Turban Army several times but failed. Instead, he was defeated by the Yellow Turban Army and was disappointed, so Liu Dai decided to go to the expedition himself.

Many officials under his subordinates dissuaded Liu Dai and told him not to go out to the expedition in person, saying that this was too dangerous. The Yellow Turban Army was strong for a while and as long as it was firm and cleared the country, it would soon be impossible to hold on, so it was better to defend the city.

Or maybe you might as well ask Guo Peng to lead his army to help wipe out the Yellow Turban Army.

Liu Dai doesn't think so.

He killed Qiao Mao, Qiao Mao, and Guo Peng, and admitted defeat. Now he can't even deal with the Yellow Turban Army who was defeated by Guo Peng?

What a joke!

Liu Dai warned Bao Xin, the prime minister of Jibei who proposed to invite Guo Peng to lead his army to aid.

"Guo Zifeng, a man in Huangkou, knows what kind of military tactics? I heard that you are very close to him. This is wrong. You have to be careful!"

Then Liu Dai led his army to the expedition.

He wanted to deal with the Yellow Turban Army head-on and deal with these borers from the Han Dynasty.

Then he died.

His confidant, Wang Gong, the prefect of Dongjun, was also dead and was killed by the Yellow Turban Army. The Yanzhou Army was defeated as if it were a mountain.

The combat effectiveness of the Yellow Turban Army was always a bit erratic. When they were awesome, they could deal with Dong Zhuo. When they were weak, hundreds of thousands of people were forced to surrender. In a blink of an eye, they killed the governor of one state again.

The governor died in battle, Yanzhou was shocked, and the morale of the Yellow Turban Army was greatly boosted, sweeping half of Yanzhou.

As Yanzhou was about to sweep away, the upper-class people in Yanzhou finally could not bear the heavy losses and were looking for breakthroughs.

If you can't find someone who is willing to take over the post within yourself, no one dares to stand up and turn the tide. This path won't work, so you have to find a breakthrough from the outside.

When Bao Xin and his brother Bao Tao saw that the time was coming, they immediately recommended Guo Peng, saying that Guo Peng would soon lead troops from Jibei Kingdom and Taishan County to Yanzhou, defeat the Yellow Turban Army from behind, and make Yanzhou stable.

"The famous general of Guo Qingzhou, whose elite troops are undefeated in hundreds of battles, are the ones who can expel the Yellow Turbans to pacify Yanzhou. What else can we doubt?"

Bao Xin insisted on his opinion and insisted on inviting Guo Peng to pacify the Yellow Turbans to take charge of Yanzhou.

Then, Ying Shao, the prefect of Taishan who lost his troops and land, also supported Guo Peng, thinking that Guo Peng was the only one who could save Yanzhou.

Everyone in Yanzhou also saw signs of this chaotic world. Without the protection of the strong, Yanzhou would be swallowed up by the Yellow Turban Army, and they would become rootless duckweed and had to flee in all directions.

So I didn't say that I supported it all, at least no one opposed it, although some people thought Yuan Shao was good.

For example, Yuan Yi, the prefect of Shanyang, belonged to Yuan Shao's school, and thought Guo Peng was from Yuan Shu's school, and was very hostile to him.

However, Bao Xin insisted that Yuan Shao took the lead in destroying the alliance against Dong, and was not someone who could entrust the family's future.

This statement was supported by many people, so Bao Xin took the lead and wrote a letter to Guo Peng, asking Guo Peng to send troops to Yanzhou to quell the chaos and protect the safety of the elders in Yanzhou.

Yuan Yi was very angry, and then when he thought of his identity, he felt uneasy, afraid that after Guo Peng occupied Yanzhou, he would be persecuted by Guo Peng, so he directly abandoned his official position and fled to Jizhou, Hebei.

In late October, Guo Peng received the letter and was overjoyed.

On the surface, he blamed the Yellow Turban Army with gritted teeth and felt very sorry for Liu Dai's death.

Then he ordered the army to prepare for the preparation, and 30,000 troops were divided into two groups, and the army was launched to avenge Liu Dai and eliminate disasters for the country, and to march openly into Yanzhou.

The main force took Zhang Fei as the vanguard, Guo Jia as the marching Sima, Guo Peng personally commanded Guan Yu, and Zhao Yun led an army of 20,000 to Taishan County.

There were 10,000 partial troops, Cao Ren as the main general, Yu Jin and Le Jin as the auxiliary, Xi Zhong as the marching Sima, entered Jibei Kingdom and began to conquer the country from Jibei Kingdom.

During this expedition, Guo Peng intended to cultivate the ability of Cao Ren, Yu Jin and Le Jin to command troops, so he asked the three of them to lead the army to fight alone.

In order to ensure safety, Xi Zhong, who is wise and experienced, is also allowed to assist Sima, the marching and marching.

Before Yuan Shao invaded and Guo Peng was fighting outside. Although Cao Ren and others were not defeated, they lost their troops and lost their territory. Guo Peng didn't care much, but he began to think in his heart.

Although he is becoming more and more skilled in using troops, and his reputation as a famous general is becoming more and more famous, he is the lord and often has to take charge of the base camp to plan overall instead of going out to fight in person.

You cannot be the only one who can command troops and fight in all directions, and you cannot be the generals under your command who are brave enough to charge into battle.

Fortunately, my family is big and my business is great in the future and I will attack from all directions. Can I still have to be a clone by myself?

After observation, Guo Peng confirmed that Cao Ren, Yu Jin and Le Jin had the ability and talent to command troops. They were very strict in commanding troops, had strict military disciplines, and showed signs of being the only one.

To this end, Guo Peng decided to focus on cultivating Cao Ren, Yu Jin and Le Jin.

Below them, there are also people who can be trained as the general who commands the army.

Both Guan Yu and Zhao Yun can be trained. Cao Chun and Cao Xiu, who came to join him from Jiangnan not long ago, were too young, so Guo Peng wanted to bring them by his side to train them.

Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan also have the ability to lead troops, but they are not good at using strategies and are only good at rushing and attacking. They can be used as pioneers, but if they face big scenes, they do not have the ability to adapt to the situation.

But guarding the place is enough.

Especially Xiahou Dun, compared to the battlefield, Guo Peng found that it seemed better to put Xiahou Dun in the position of civil servants.

He is upright, does not embezzle, does not accept bribes, and can lead many people to excellently complete local government affairs, build water conservancy, build villages, and reclaim wasteland. He is very skilled and never misses anything.

Guo Peng felt that the reason why Cao Cao wanted Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Dun to be the commander was mainly because of trust.

In that chaotic era, trust was precious. Cao Cao trusted them not to rebel and was his own family. The role they played might be more like being a military supervisor rather than a commander.

So basically speaking, these two people are "supervising" the generals to march, and this "supervising" may have more of a military supervisor.

Mr. Guo adopted the military system of the Qin Dynasty. The army was a straightforward professional soldier. He also liked to control the army from the grassroots level, and paid special attention to mastering and training the army from the beginning.

The generals who trained and the generals who led the army were two groups. Only their own guards were by their side can take away the well-trained army to fight during wartime. After the war, the army returned to the camp to station.

But in the same way, he could realize that because he was his own family, he brought it out with one hand and trust and tacit understanding cannot be compared with others.

Therefore, whenever I go out to war, I hand over the place to my subordinates and my family for many years to guard.

This time, Guo Peng handed over the important task of staying behind to Cheng Li. Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Dun and Cao Hong were guarding the local area and obeyed Cheng Li's orders. This was very reassuring.

Of course, it is necessary to cultivate capable subordinates. You cannot always command operations on the front line. You should play a more role in macro-control.

Later, how to control these subordinates with increasingly stronger abilities is also a kind of macro-control ability.

So Liu Bang became the emperor because he was good at controlling his subordinates.

All generals need to learn, and Guo Peng also needs to learn. It is necessary to learn and grow in war.
