Qiao Rui made up his clothes, asked his wife and daughters to behave properly, and then under the leadership of Xu Chu, he entered Guo Peng's office hall.

"Meet the General."

Qiao Rui took the lead in worshiping, and then Mrs. Qiao and sisters from Big and Big Bridge also bowed one after another and greeted Guo Peng.

"No need to be polite. General Qiao, Mrs. Qiao, and two young ladies, please get up and sit down."

Guo Peng sat in the main seat and greeted the four people.

"General Xie."

So the four of the Qiao family sat together at Guo Peng's lower head.

Xiaoqiao is more lively and bolder. Although Qiao Rui strictly ordered not to look up before getting permission, she still raised her head quietly and looked at Guo Peng quietly.

As a result, he met Guo Peng's gaze.

Guo Peng smiled slightly, Xiaoqiao's heart suddenly hopped, he quickly lowered his head and his face turned red.

Just a quick glance, Guo Peng also realized that the girl was a beauty. Although she was not old and didn't know whether it was a big bridge or a small bridge, she was indeed a beauty.

Qiao Rui has an average appearance, and it is estimated that most of his daughter's appearance is due to Mrs. Qiao.

"I feel relieved when I see that the Qiao family is still safe."

Guo Peng brought up the topic: "General Qiao is a great hero in this battle. If the family of the hero is killed, I really don't know how to explain to the court. Now, I can explain to the court as well."

"The general has to pay attention to it and specially sent troops to protect the family of the last general. The general is very grateful, so he brought his family to thank the general."

"No need to do this. This is what I should do. Not only that, I also want to ask General Qiao for merit. I have submitted a letter to the court and ask Your Majesty to formally enfeoff General Qiao to be the former general of the Han Dynasty, and to be awarded more fiefs. Your Majesty will definitely reward General Qiao for his merits."

Qiao Rui quickly expressed his gratitude and saluted Guo Peng with a look of gratitude on his face.

Then there was a symbolic chat and talked about Qiao Rui's family. Qiao Rui sighed.

"Maybe I did something wrong! My subordinates have two sons who died young, and only two daughters have grown up, and they have no descendants so far. Sometimes, they feel miserable. If they met the general early and went on the right path, they would be afraid that they would be full of children and grandchildren now."

Guo Peng smiled and comforted Qiao Rui, and then brought up the topic and talked about Qiao Rui's two daughters. Qiao Rui also tacitly agreed with Guo Peng and enthusiastically praised his two daughters.

So the main show began, Qiao Rui asked her two daughters to come forward and looked up to Guo Peng.

After Qiao Rui's identification, Guo Peng knew that the eldest daughter, Daqiao, was a little rosy and trembling, and his little daughter, Xiaoqiao, was a little rosy face and a little trembling body.

The one who secretly raised his head and looked at him was Xiaoqiao.

Guo Peng couldn't help but smile.

"The two female princes are both beautiful and beautiful, and they are good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. I don't know whose children are so lucky to marry the two female princes."

Qiao Rui immediately got Guo Peng's hint.

"The little girl has always admired the general's reputation, the general's courage to join the army at the age of nineteen and his record of quelling the rebellion for the Han Dynasty. If the general does not dislike the little girl Pu Liu's appearance, the little girl is willing to enter the general's mansion to serve the general."

Qiao Rui took the initiative to propose the purpose of sending his two daughters into Guo Peng's mansion to serve Guo Peng.

"This... I already have a wife and three concubines. If the two female princes enter my mansion, it would be a bad idea, right?"

Mr. Guo pretended to reject it, and Qiao Rui immediately stated: "The Qiao family is an ordinary family and is really a blessing to be able to serve the generals. How dare you have other extravagant desires? I hope the general will not dislike it."

"How can I dislike it?"

Guo Peng smiled and shook his head: "Since that's the case, then okay."

Qiao Rui and Mrs. Qiao were overjoyed.

"Although I am taking a concubine, I can't treat General Qiao too badly. I still have the etiquette I should have, and I have to do it. Let's do it. Let's do it. Please ask Mrs. Qiao to take the two girls back to Puyang first, and after I finish the rectification, I will handle the wedding after returning to the army. How about it?"

“So great!”

Qiao Rui was very happy.

So in a performance of love and deception, the political marriage reality show came to an end. The two girls of the Qiao family were confirmed to enter Guo Peng's mansion and serve Guo Peng together.

Guo Peng was quite satisfied. The sisters of Big and Big Bridge were very beautiful. As male instincts, Guo Peng accepted them.

Qiao Rui and Mrs. Qiao were more satisfied because their future was guaranteed and Qiao was safe.

No one cares about the idea of ​​the Big and Big Bridge sisters.

Of course, their ideas are not important, as long as they do as they follow their parents' arrangements, it will be considered as contributing to the family.

In fact, Guo Peng had no choice. Some people had to be killed at the political purge, and some people had to be beheaded and displayed in public. This would have some negative impacts, uneasy for those who had already surrendered, and affect Guo Peng's plan to quickly pacify Huainan and Jiangbei.

In order to realize this plan, stable people's hearts and not strong resistance are needed. At this time, taking Qiao Rui's daughter as a concubine is the best way to soothe people's hearts.

Even Qiao Rui's daughter, who once faced me with life and death on the battlefield, became my concubine. What are you still worried about?

Don't you work for me obediently?

This is the magical magic of marriage. The wishes of both parties to the marriage are not important, and the wishes of the forces behind both parties are the main ones.

As the leader and owner of the entire force, Guo Peng also has to make sacrifices and pay the price for this, otherwise he will not have to do whatever he wants. If he can persist, there will be a real ghost.

It has nothing to do with love, only benefits.

Therefore, Guo Peng would suppress his emotions, and there was no need to listen to the wishes of sisters from Daqiao.

Qiao Rui quickly happily arranged for his family to leave Shouchun under the protection of Xu Chu and go to Puyang. He stayed to help Guo Peng do business in Shouchun. He used his home advantage to do a lot of things for Guo Peng.

For example, as Zhao Yun's deputy general and leader, he led 10,000 troops and went south to occupy Lujiang County, and his actions were very smooth.

In addition, Guo Peng appointed Zhang Liao as the main general and led 10,000 troops to attack Jiujiang County. Guo Peng occupied all Yangzhou north of the Yangtze River and completed the last step in the battle to attack Yuan Shu.

Jiujiang County, Lujiang County and Runan County will become important advance bases for Guo Peng to attack the Jiangnan part of Yangzhou and Jingzhou in the future.

After occupying Yuzhou and Yangzhou north of the Yangtze River this time, these three counties are where Guo Peng wants to focus on operating.

For this reason, Guo Peng was transferred to Zao Zhi as the prefect of Lujiang County and appointed Guan Yu as the garrison of Lujiang County.

Xiahou Dun was transferred to serve as the prefect of Runan County, and Guo Lie was appointed as the garrison of Runan County.

Mao Jie was also transferred to serve as the governor of Jiujiang County and Zhang Liao was appointed as the governor of Jiujiang County.

These three counties will focus on farming, garrisoning troops, training and preparing for war, stocking up food and grass, repairing roads, and establishing intelligence stations. All preparations must be completed before heading south to set out to lay a solid foundation for the subsequent war to go south.
