Compared to Xi Zhong and Guo Jia, the experienced Cheng Lixiang has more experience.

"If this situation continues, Yuan Shao will have the advantage, and the lord will not have the advantage. If Yuan Shao uses this as a threat, he will not be willing to retreat, what should the lord?"

Cheng Li said this, and seemed to disagree with the withdrawal of troops.

Xun Yu frowned and was about to speak when he saw Guo Peng standing up.

"When it comes to military use, Yuan Shao knew in his heart how much he was. Compared with me, Yuan Shao was only better than the people of the fourth generation and the third generation. Apart from that, he had no advantage.

If I make an appointment with him to withdraw the army, even if he is reluctant, his subordinates will not support him in continuing to fight. This battle will be the case, I will write this letter.

But I will also tell him clearly. If I withdraw my troops, he will also withdraw. If he does not want to withdraw, I will lead my troops to Yecheng regardless of everything, and recall with him the first battle between me and my teacher, Mr. Lu, to fight against the Yellow Turban!"

Guo Peng had a fierce expression and slammed the table. The four strategists thought this was correct and no one was opposed.

So Guo Peng wrote a peace agreement to withdraw his troops by writing a letter, and threatened Yuan Shao at the end of the letter.

"If the general is unwilling to retreat, Guo is willing to hunt and Yecheng with the general to discuss the first battle to attack the Yellow Turbans that year!"

The shady threat, the meaning of threat is beyond words. Everything I wrote before was like nonsense, and the last sentence is true.

If you don’t agree to withdraw your troops, I will kill you to Yecheng regardless of your fate, and you will have no way to go to heaven and earth and no way to let you know that Mr. Guo’s reputation has not been in vain. If you don’t believe it, let’s try it.

Yuan Shao was furious and smashed the table and bench, and wanted to lead his army to fight to the death with Guo Peng. As a result, none of the counselors and generals under his command supported him.

Yan Liang, who lost the battle, and Tuo Yi, who escaped by chance, said no one was willing to fight another battle.

Xu You and Feng Ji, who have always been in charge of fighting, also urged Yuan Shao to stop the army and quit the battle.

"In this battle, our army lost less than 20,000 troops. The two counties and states were severely damaged, and it has reached its limit. Now the people hope to quell the war and not continue to fight. If the general fights again, I am afraid that the foundation of Jizhou will be unstable! General, don't forget that Han Fenwu is still in Yecheng!"

The last thing that persuaded Yuan Shao was Xu You's words.

When Yuan Shao heard this, a cold sweat suddenly popped up behind him, and he suddenly remembered how Han Fu was abandoned and how he got to power.

When the foundation is not stable, if the war starts rashly, the status of himself and Han Fu may have to be changed again!

Yuan Shao was timid and thought about it, and wrote another letter to Guo Peng.

In the letter, Yuan Shao said that all this was a misunderstanding, and he was just kind-hearted. If Guo Peng didn't want to, he would never send troops to help him sweep away the Yellow Turbans in the future.

Everyone regards this incident as an accident, just pretend that nothing has happened. Everyone goes home, finds their mothers, rest with peace of mind, and creates a better future together, so that they can make an appointment to ask Dong together in the future, right?

Then, Yuan Shao wrote to Liu Dai, saying that everything was a misunderstanding and thanks to Liu Dai for his righteous help, he could withdraw his troops.

After receiving this letter from Yuan Shao, Guo Peng had to sigh, saying that Yuan Shao was shameless.

From this perspective, Yuan Shao is worthy of being able to dominate Hebei. Unfortunately, his opponent is even more shameless than him, and his shamelessness is only enough to occupy Hebei.

Mr. Guo doesn’t know what his face is.

But now that things have come to this point, the war is over. Guo Peng retreated first. After Yuan Shao found out that Guo Peng retreated, he arranged for a large army to retreat. A small number of troops slowly entered Qinghe Kingdom to count the losses so that he could know what to do.

Guo Peng was not polite at all and didn't say he would return the things he stolen. Anyway, he took away all the things he could take away, and all the people he could not take away were smashed, and all the people he could plunder were plundered.

The army quickly returned to the plains, rested the troops and rectified the war, and then arranged the captured Jizhou population to go to Le'anguo military farm on the south bank of the Yellow River.

You can't let them stay in Hebei, they will run away.

Later, Guo Peng received news that Liu Dai had withdrew his troops.

Guo Peng thought about how this person who took advantage of the situation should take revenge, but did not move troops, but wrote a letter to Liu Dai.

In the letter, Guo Peng said that all this was a misunderstanding. Yuan Shao's attack on him and his attack on Yuan Shao were both misunderstandings, so everything before could be regarded as never happened.

Including the incident of Liu Dai's attack on Gaotang County.

Liu Dai wrote back soon.

Taking the identity of the Han clan relatives and elders, he educated Guo Peng to learn to respect and be careful about his life and work, otherwise he would suffer losses in the future.

Then he said a lot of big talk and gave Guo Peng precious life experience in his attitude as an elder.

Guo Peng could imagine Liu Dai's proud face.

With a sneer, Guo Peng threw Liu Dai's letter into the fire and burned it.

"Liu Dai took advantage of the situation to rob, and the person was clear and he was not eliminated. If the lord wanted to use troops against Yuan Shao in the future, Liu Dai would still restrain his lord. The lord did this to make him relax his vigilance. Fortunately, will he have any plans in the future?"

Cheng Li discussed this matter with Guo Peng in private.

"Make him proud, make him happy, make him relieved. If he is unhappy and uneasy, how can I calmly rectify Qingzhou? The most important thing at the moment is to attack Beihai Kingdom and Donglai County, take down these two places, rectify Qingzhou, and then deal with Liu Dai."

Guo Peng's eyes were filled with strong desire.

"Yanzhou is mine."

Mr. Guo made such a declaration.

Cheng Li bowed and bowed: "Li will make Yanzhou surrender to the lord!"

Guo Peng felt Cheng Li's loyalty. Even if he was appointed as a high-ranking official and had certain power, Cheng Li still called himself the lord and never changed.

Cheng Li has already determined that Guo Peng is the main one, and has not changed his position and is dedicated to doing things for Guo Peng.

Therefore, Cheng Li is the only person who knows the darkest and deepest desires in Guo Peng's heart, and thinks that Guo Peng fulfills his desires as the starting point to do things, which is different from others.

Afterwards, Guo Peng commended Gaotang County Magistrate Xin Ping, and several people who made contributions to the battle were also rewarded.

For example, Guan Yu, who banned Wen Chou, was the lieutenant of the devil and made him the marquis of Duting, fulfilling his long-cherished wish.

Later, Du Xi was rewarded with a batch of money and silk cloth, and praised his performance in performing his duties during the war. He was still asked to be the county magistrate, rectify the county of Geguo, and rescue the fields as much as possible, so as to collect as much summer grain.

In short, the most important task next is to collect summer grain.

Last year, the grain was collected in the treasury for more than 1.8 million shi, which was enough for the 100,000 army to eat for a year and a half. With this grain as the confidence, the continuous battles did not hurt Guo Peng's vitality.

He fought with Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shao, and the number of soldiers killed in battle was about 3,000.

Most of the wounded soldiers can be cured, so it took a few days after the war to count the soldiers. The current number of soldiers in the four counties and states in Qingzhou is about 53,000, and the vitality is well preserved.

After this year's summer grain harvest, the grain reserves in the treasury will be enough for his 50,000 army to fight for three or four years.
