two hundred and ninety-four

Lu Bu's generals have decided.

With their most trusted personal guards, they touched Lu Bu's tent at night, captured Lu Bu alive, tied it up, gave it to Guo Peng, and surrendered to him!

Not only can you protect your family, but you can also gain wealth!

Guo Peng occupied the two states and was a great prince of the Central Plains. He had strong soldiers and horses. Why worry about not being rich and honorable after him?

Cheng Lian was the first to join, with Cao Xing and Hou Cheng following closely behind.

So the four of them prepared their own personal guards and gathered secretly in the second half of the night to transfer the night patrol team around Lubu's camp, and then quietly touched them up.

That night, Lu Bu was in extreme panic, and no one could find a way for him. He couldn't think of it himself. In desperation, he could only drink to relieve his messy heart.

But can the problem that cannot be solved when you are awake? Can it be solved by getting drunk?

No, getting drunk will only make you dizzy and want to sleep.

So Lu Bu wanted to sleep in a daze and didn't want to think about these questions that he could not answer at all. It would be a day to live.

Then Cheng Lian and others came up quietly and killed the guards at the gate of Lu Bu’s camp. When they heard Lu Bu’s snoring in the camp, they knew that Lu Bu was asleep, so they felt very at ease.

Then, the four of them entered Lu Bu's camp with a dozen strong soldiers and thick ropes.

Through the faint light, I saw where Lu Bu was clearly seen, and smelled the strong smell of alcohol. I was overjoyed when I knew Lu Bu was drinking.

"He won't wake up after drinking, and we can feel confident of binding him."

Cheng Lian said so.

So a group of people quietly put the rope around Lu Bu, slowly tightening, tightening, and then tightening, and finally tightening to the point where they could not be attached, almost tied Lu Bu into rice dumplings.

It was not until this time that Lu Bu felt a little uncomfortable and woke up slowly and tried to move. But not long after his eyes opened, he could see his situation clearly.

"What are you...what are you going to do?! Why do you want to tie me up?!"

Lu Bu found himself tied up, and he was surrounded by torches, looking at his soldiers and officers with a cold look, as well as the group of generals he trusted the most.

"You are alone and you are incompetent, and you will also have to take care of your family. Lu Bu, do you think we will die with you?"

Hao Meng's face was full of pride.

"We have decided to give you to General Guo when it dawns. Then all of us can live, you will be killed."

Hou Cheng sat on the side and wiped the sword on his hand.

"General, don't blame us. In this world, being able to live means winning, and being dead means losing. I want to live, not wanting to die."

Cao Xing grinned, smiling proudly.

Cheng Lian didn't say a word, but his eyes were filled with strong murderous intent when he looked at Lu Bu.

Lu Bu suddenly felt like he fell into an ice hole and shouted repeatedly.

"You traitors! You dare to betray me!"

"I am your general! You can't do this!"

"Come on! Kill the traitors for me!"

"Come and kill the thief!"

Lu Bu shouted at the top of his lungs. The sound seemed particularly loud in the middle of the night, and perhaps many people had heard it.

But it was useless. He had completely lost the morale of the army and the hearts of the people. He could not find a way out for everyone, so everyone had to find a way out for themselves. So it would be natural to abandon Lu Bu for everyone's way out.

It's just your fault that you don't have the ability.

This kind of thing is actually not uncommon. It often occurs in border troops like Bingzhou and Youzhou. The chief general governs the army with absolute courage and prestige, rather than using military rules and regulations.

Then when the main general has great prestige, he will naturally be able to control the army. Once the prestige is insufficient and he cannot seek benefits for everyone, the main general will be abandoned and his subordinates will find a way out themselves.

This military model was later played in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, and a trick called the Emperor took turns to come to my house next year.

Now, it's just a preview.

Lu Bu was fortunate to be the abandoned one, which was enough to prove that the army was extremely disappointed with him.

He is a qualified fighting general, a qualified cavalry general, but not a qualified leader, nor a successful warlord.

His personal courage and prestige are the reasons why the Bingzhou army is willing to follow him, and when his personal courage cannot control the situation, he will be abandoned by the army.

He didn't even have a chance to defeat Mr. Guo at all, because he was facing a complete and gradually formed ruling system and an effective military system. His blood and courage were effective in the early stages. Once Mr. Guo recovered from his senses, he would surely perish.

If Yuan Shu was a rootless duckweed and it came out as soon as it was pulled out, then Lu Bu was not even as good as a rootless duckweed.

Just a scoundrel shakes the big tree.

Lu Bu's hoarseness and his best efforts to break free did not bring him any help. All kinds of promises and curses mean nothing.

The military generals watched Lu Bu's ugly behavior in order to survive, which completely saw through him.

When the sky turned white, he was packed with a car and delivered it to Guo Peng's military camp like a gift.

Guo Peng was not surprised to learn about this, because this was what he had expected.

But on the surface, he still had to be surprised, happy, or even ecstatic. He was so surprised that he didn't even wear armor. He ran out of his handsome tent in his underwear. Seeing Lu Bu, who was tied tightly and struggling in the cart, he burst out laughing.

"Sinner Hao Meng."

"Sinners become evil."

Hao Meng and Cheng Lian, who were responsible for transporting Lu Bu to Guo Peng for surrender, saw Guo Peng so surprised, and felt relieved, and knelt down in front of Guo Peng together.

"I'll come and ask the general to surrender!"

The two of them offered Lu Bu, who was tied into rice dumplings and his mouth was stuffed together.

"Hahahahahahahaha!"

Guo Peng and the military generals and advisers around him watched Lu Bu tied up together, pointed at him, laughed loudly, full of pride.

Seeing that the war had won a complete victory, the generals and advisers also laughed and looked proud.

Afterwards, Guo Peng helped Cheng Lian and Hao Meng up, held a banquet for them to attend, and treated them with good wine and food.

"You know the current affairs, know the victory or defeat, capture Lu Bu, and help me win. Although you have been enemies with me, you are in time anyway, so you are all heroes and rewards!"

Guo Peng immediately announced that the four masters of the matter, Hao Meng, Cheng Lian, Hou Cheng and Cao Xing, who were in charge of the matter, would also submit a report to the four men as Hou Duting, return them to their families, and then reward them with gold, copper coins, cloth and mansions to repay their contributions.

Anyway, the officers also give rewards according to their positions. Those who are willing to stay and join the army will be screened. Those who are willing to go home will be paid for travel expenses.

After the policy was announced, Cheng Lian and Hao Meng were overjoyed and immediately knelt on the ground to kowtow, expressing their gratitude to Guo Peng, swearing that they will always be loyal to Guo Peng, and they will never give up their minds and will go through fire and water for him.

If they show their loyalty, Guo Peng will be farts. If they are smart enough, they will hand over their families and send them to Lu County to settle in, and then they can work in Guo Peng's camp with peace of mind.

Otherwise, one will not escape death sooner or later.

The world is in chaos, the court's leadership collapses, the old order has gradually become ineffective, and the ethics of the rules are meaningless. The truth is the big fist. Many people's ambitions are stimulated and swell up, and everyone has become a rebellious boy.

It can be said that every family wants to be emperors and everyone wants to be dukes and marquis.

The political stage is changing, and Xiaojie, who was the leader yesterday, may be ruined and homeless today. In such an environment, if you want to maintain the successful operation of a group of forces, various rules and regulations must be missing.

The old rules and regulations are gradually ineffective, so I have to get a new one, otherwise everyone will do whatever they want, so how can I lead this team?

The quality-responsibility system shines in troubled times.

Guo Peng also thoroughly implemented the quality and responsibility system.

Don’t tell me nonsense about love and friendship. Let me trust you and appoint you. First, hand over the family members, and then let’s talk about love and friendship.

When Guo Peng was stationed in Linzi, all the generals and civil servants always had regular troops, and the families of many important craftsmen lived in Linzi.

Subjectively, it facilitates Guo Peng to control his own power groups, objectively enriches the local population and expands the economic scale, just like the magistrate system in the early Western Han Dynasty.

When Guo Peng decided to stay in Lu County, he moved more than 100,000 people to Lu County without hesitation.

Anyway, Guo Peng believes that I will not betray the old subordinates, the confidants will not betray, the family will not betray, etc., I can only let you go out and lead the troops out to be an official with confidence.

Otherwise it would be impossible.

Not to mention surrendering to generals, Yuancong Group, who had been following him at the beginning, has kept his family with Guo Peng, and set an example. He went out alone to lead troops as an official.

Guo Peng tried his best to obtain the other four counties and states in Yanzhou because his quality-based responsibility system was not implemented here. The families of local officials were all by his side. They surrendered when they said they would surrender, and changed their ranks when they said they would change their ranks, which was extremely low.
