Guo Peng is not unclear about what Yu Jin did.

But he chose not to intervene and let it develop.

This is also a reason.

On the one hand, Guo Peng thought of the help Bao Xin gave him in the early days of his rebellion and the contribution he had helped him take over Yanzhou. He felt that doing so would make their lives easier, and he didn't want to do anything.

On the other hand, he felt that acquiesced to Yu Jin to do this was also creating a good opportunity for Guo Jin-

Leave a handle for him.

With this handle, Yu Jin can be restrained, so that Yu Jin can be used by him and dare not have any other thoughts.

If it gets up, Guo Jin doesn't need to do it. As long as Guo Jin moves his fingers a little, the jackals and tigers staring at Yu Jin can rush forward and tear him apart.

Bao's intention to rebel has reached this point today, and you actually helped them?

Are you ill-intentioned and want to rebel?

They would make a statement like crazy, falsely accusing them, and do their best to eradicate Yu Jin for the emperor, so as to earn their own political capital, and step on Yu Jin's body to reach a high position.

This is a sword hanging on the head of the ban.

If you are not careful, it will fall off at any time.

If this plan is successfully implemented, Yu Jin can also be used, so Guo Peng doesn't have to worry about getting rid of him.

Yu Jin has a relatively excellent ability to command troops and is not strong in character. He is one of the most trustworthy and reserved for Guo Jin to use among the first-class generals. Keeping him is useful.

So Guo Peng nodded.

"Since you think you can use it for ban, then observe it for the time being to see if Yu ban meets your expectations."

"Thank you, my father."

Guo Jin is very happy.

Next, Zhang Liao.

Zhang Liao also carries a historical burden like Yu Jin. This burden comes from Lu Bu and Dong Zhuo.

Moreover, Zhang Liao's situation is far worse than that of ban.

If you insist on saying that Zhang Liao is Lu Bu's subordinate, it is better to say that Zhang Liao is Dong Zhuo's subordinate.

Zhang Liao was originally a subordinate of Ding Yuan, the governor of Bingzhou. In the fifth year of Zhongping, the imperial court performed a great martial arts performance. Emperor Ling Liu Hong ordered General He Jin to recruit warriors from all directions to enter the capital for his use. Zhang Liao was recommended by Ding Yuan and became the subordinate of General He Jin, and then entered Luoyang.

Later, in Luoyang, He Jin was killed. At that time, Dong Zhuo entered the capital. He Jin's old subordinates had no leader and had to surrender to Dong Zhuo. Zhang Liao also went with the flow and defected to Dong Zhuo.

At this point, Zhang Liaocai and Lu Bu were in contact. As for whether the two had contacted each other before, Guo Peng didn't know and had never asked Zhang Liao.

However, He Jin's old subordinates actually had a lot to do with Lu Bu.

Without Lu Bu killing Ding Yuan and joining Dong Zhuo, there would be no one to choose from He Jin's old subordinates.

Later, Dong Zhuo died, Wang Yun took office, and the Bingzhou Gang dominated the central government, and a group of Bingzhou people were rewarded generously.

Lu Bu became the general of Fenwu in the court, while Zhang Liao was the prime minister of Lu who was granted the title of the court. He actually scored two thousand stones, and there was no subordinate relationship between the two.

It’s just because Lu Bu and Zhang Liao were both from Bingzhou and their relationship was naturally close.

After the Bingzhou Gang, led by Wang Yun, collapsed, Zhang Liao, a native of Bingzhou, had nowhere to go and could only follow Lu Bu.

At that time, the relationship between Zhang Liao and Lu Bu was more similar to that of a guest general.

Later, Lu Bu was fooled by Yuan Shao to beat Guo Peng and killed by Guo Peng. When Zhang Liao saw that there was no need to fight, he surrendered and was introduced to Guo Peng by Zhang Fei.

Guo Peng regretted the fact that he had summoned Zhang Liao but was unable to succeed, and accepted Zhang Liao. Since then, Zhang Liao began to fight for Guo Peng.

The hostile relationship has been around since Dong Zhuo's era until Lu Bu died. During the years, Zhang Liao was Guo Peng's enemy.

Because of this historical burden, Zhang Liao had a high prestige in the army and was an untrustworthy person in the eyes of court officials.

Compared to Yu Jin, Zhang Liao was less popular with the court. Many people in the General Staff and the Ministry of War had bad views on Zhang Liao.

If Guo Peng hadn't trusted him, appointed him, advocated promoting him, and allowed him to display his talents, Zhang Liao would have never been able to reach his current position.

But no matter what, Zhang Liao was also the supreme commander of the Southeast Front Army, and defeated the Sun regime in Jiangdong, a powerful hero of local centrifugal forces and millions of Shanyue bandits.

When it comes to military merits, Zhang Liao was only under Cao Ren.

When Cao Ren Rongxiang retired, Zhang Liao had replaced Cao Ren and became the second most prestige in the army after Guo Peng.

So after Cao Ren retreated, people in the court who were [good at figuring out the king's thoughts] secretly submitted a report to Guo Peng, explaining to Guo Peng the dangers of Zhang Liao's foreign minister leading heavy troops in Jiangdong.

The implication is that they think that Guo Peng must be very afraid of Zhang Liao and must also want Zhang Liao to hand over the military power as honored as Cao Ren to retire.

Otherwise, if a general who once had an enemy of Guo Peng led tens of thousands of elite troops to station in Jiangdong, if he was not careful, he would be in a separatist situation.

This general really could not gain trust and should be dismissed, seized his military power, and recalled him to Luoyang for supervision.

But at that time, Guo Peng had never thought so.

He has long placed Zhang Liao in Jiangdong, and a very important reason is that he needs Zhang Liao to lead the Southeast Corps to carry out pioneering missions in central and southern Yangzhou.

Just like he placed Zhu Ling and Guo Lie in Jingzhou, he shocked the original local forces in Jingzhou on the one hand, and on the other hand, he also wanted to develop Jingnan on the other hand.

After Zhang Liao pacified Shanyue and ended the Jiangdong War, he has been working with Yangzhou Governor Gu Yong to carry out pioneering missions, with strong soldiers as the main force and local civilians recruited as the auxiliary, and made efforts to develop in one go.

The main areas developed include later Zhejiang, Fujian and Jiangxi.

These three places are affiliated with Yangzhou at this time, and are still in the kind of area with very low development levels, with large areas of primitive jungle and unmanned land, full of [miasma].

If you want to develop, live in, the fierce ignition tanks held by the army are indispensable. Some places are wet and cannot be burned, and powerful combustion aids are needed to help burn.

Moreover, there will be some unknown risks during the development process, such as some wild beasts, beasts, and so on hidden deep in the dense forests or swamps.

These beasts have strong attack power, and ordinary civilians cannot handle it, so they need several soldiers to form armor to deal with it.

Some powerful beasts cannot be dealt with by more than twenty fully armed soldiers. They need to set up special traps to deal with, otherwise there will be great casualties.

To this end, Zhang Liao even set up a very elite and experienced special forces to fight wild beasts, calling it the [Tiger Catching Army].

The number of people in the Tiger Catcher was about five or six hundred, led by a brave young general named Ding Feng.

This special elite army uses the most exquisite weapons and equipment. The arrows used and weapons to fight beasts are specially made, and then specially maintained. They are only issued before each battle, so they are not touched at all.

Whenever the army opened up a new area, the young men who had been trained by the tiger army who were already very familiar with the living habits of wild beasts would take the initiative to attack.

Strictly speaking, they are not specifically killing tigers, but because tigers are often representative of ferocious beasts, this elite small army specializing in dealing with powerful beasts was named the Tiger Catching Army.

When encountering beasts such as bears, tigers, and leopards, or other beasts that are extremely lethal to humans, such as wild boars with huge bodies, they will take action to deal with them and then bring high results with extremely low casualties.

The carefully trained tiger-catching army can often kill all the beasts in the surrounding areas or drive them away. Over time, they can open up places suitable for human settlements.

The meat of the beasts was eaten, and the fur was peeled off, and they were handed over to Yangzhou Governor Gu Yong as a tribute from Yangzhou. They were sent to Luoyang together in the name of Zhang Liao and Gu Yong to please Guo Peng.

Guo Peng is not interested in products such as animal skins and hairs, but there are many people around him who are interested.

Women, or royal relatives, still have a lot of demand for this, so they acquiesced to the existence of the Tiger Catcher, allowing them to eliminate beasts and open up people's living space while providing such luxury goods to meet the needs of the powerful.

Of course, it's not free, it costs a lot of money.

This type of thing is sold by Guo Peng in the luxury goods store in Dongshi, and the price is high, but it has been in a state of shortage of supply for a long time.
