After talking to Han Hao, it was Zhang Liao's turn.

"Wen Yuan! You make me wait!"

The guards took Zhang Liao to Guo Peng, and Guo Peng smiled and held Zhang Liao's hand.

Zhang Liao immediately took a few steps back and knelt down.

"The defeated general and guilty general, I dare not let the general do this!"

Seeing Zhang Liao like this, Guo Peng shook his head and helped Zhang Liao up.

"That's true, but since you have surrendered to me, I will not treat you as an enemy, let alone we were only a little bit able to work together, right?"

Guo Peng's words made the civil and military officials around him very interested. They really didn't know about this.

"By the way, you don't know."

Guo Peng looked at the interested gazes of the generals around him, and smiled and said, "It was the fourth year of Zhongping. I had just quelled the Zhangju and Zhang Chun rebellion. The court promoted me to the prefect of Shanggu. I wanted to organize my own team and sent people to seek talent everywhere.

At that time, someone told me that Zhang Liao and Wenyuan in Yanmen had a reputation of bravery, so I sent someone to visit Wenyuan. Then the people sent back and said that they had visited Wenyuan. However, in order to take care of my mother, Wenyuan refused my call. I felt very sorry, but I could not force it."

Guo Peng took Zhang Liao's hand and let him sit beside him, saying with regret: "If Wen Yuan could follow me, how could he have been today?"

The civil and military officials did not know that Guo Peng and Zhang Liao had this past, and they all mocked Zhang Liao for not knowing the goods in their hearts.

If he doesn't follow Guo Peng, he actually follows a defeated general, and now he becomes a defeated general. Is it the ending he wants?

"At that time, Liao could not have thought that there would be today."

Zhang Liao said in a trepidated manner: "If I could think of today, Liao would never choose to be an enemy of the general no matter what."

"Ha ha ha ha."

Guo Peng shook his head: "I heard from Yide and Yuansi that you don't want to attack the city. You just made an appointment with Yide to fight outside the city for a few days. Is there anything wrong?"

"This is indeed the case."

Zhang Liao nodded: "Because Liao thought that General Lu's actions were wrong, and Liao could not convince himself to do his best to help General Lu do the wrong things."

"If Lu Fengxian had the knowledge of Wen Yuan, he would not have ended up being in a different place."

Guo Peng shook his head, sighed, stroked Zhang Liao's back and said, "Although it's six years late, you and I are still destined to be together. So Wenyuan, this time you surrender to me, I won't treat you as a surrender general.

I heard that you had received the position of prefect in Chang'an before, which was 2,000 stones, so this time I would like to express my support for you to be the prefect of Chenliu and govern Chenliu County for me. What do you think?"

As soon as this statement came out, all the civil and military officials in the tent were surprised.

A surrendered general who just came to Guo Peng's camp can grant the position of two thousand stone prefect?

Not only was the Chinese civil and military officials surprised, but even Zhang Liao himself felt incredible and quickly refused.

"The defeated general who surrendered the army does not dare to take on this important task. Please take back the general's life!"

Zhang Liao knelt on the ground and asked Guo Peng to take back his fate.

The civil and military officials under his command made suggestions and advised Guo Peng to think twice.

Guo Peng looked at Zhang Liao for a while, looked around the civil and military officials around him, and nodded slowly.

"Since that's the case, I will grant you the position of Guiyi Captain and serve as the governor of Dongjun!"

Then, Guo Peng looked at Cao Ren: "Zixiao, you hand over your position and army to Wenyuan, and I will declare you as the prefect of Chenliu."

If Zhang Liao doesn't work, Cao Ren will be easily accepted by everyone.

Cao Ren is from Guo Peng's family. He followed Guo Peng to fight for several years and is one of the oldest veterans. When he came to be the prefect of Chenliu, no one would give his opinion.

It was like Xiahou Dun was the prime minister of Lu.

As for Cao Ren's ability to manage government, Guo Peng didn't care much. Anyway, he would equip Cao Ren with an administrative team.

If you are not in this environment, you cannot deeply understand what loyalty means to be greater than the sky.

In an era when rebellion and betrayal was common, only loyalty was the most valued, so Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan's military talents were not very outstanding, but they would still be entrusted by Guo Peng with important tasks to guard the side.

Zhang Liao took over Cao Ren's position and was arranged by Guo Peng as the garrison garrison of the Dongjun. He led the army commanded by Cao Ren to guard Dongjun and assisted Cao Cao, the prefect of Dongjun, to build Dongjun as a forward base to attack Yuan Shao.

However, even so, there are still voices of opposition and doubt.

It’s not their fault. Before this, the counties and states that set up local garrison lieutenants were held by generals from the Xiahou clan of the Cao clan and the Guo clan family.

The Xiahou and Cao generals were both regarded as Guo Peng's family generals, and were absolutely trusted, and were awarded important positions.

In his jurisdiction, Guo Peng transferred most of the power of the county prefect to the garrison lieutenant. The county prefect can command only a small number of county and state soldiers, as well as temporary recruitment and expansion of the men during emergency war.

The command and command of the regular army lies in the hands of the garrison captain.

Although the garrison lieutenant is not as powerful as the county prefect, the county prefect cannot command the garrison lieutenant.

Therefore, the guard camp is the only place outside the large army set up by Guo Peng. It has great responsibilities and has always been the trusted generals of the Xiahou family of the Cao family and the Guo Peng family.

For example, Cao Hong served as the garrison of Pingyuan Kingdom, Xiahou Yuan served as the garrison of Donglai County, Cao Ren used to serve as the garrison of Dongjun, Guo Peng personally served as the garrison of Lu Kingdom, etc.

In addition, the foreign generals have not directly commanded troops to defend the local area.

But at the moment, Guo Peng seems to be planning to make a little change.

He asked Zhang Liao, who had just surrendered, to be the garrison of Dongjun, and led his troops to guard Yuan Shao.

Then he ordered Guan Yu to be the garrison of Chenliu, commanding the newly established garrison camp in Chenliu County, and stationing 3,000 troops.

Two foreign-named lieutenants were immediately appointed as garrisons and directly led the army. One of them was the surrendered general who had just surrendered.

This change is not bad, at least it is equivalent to claiming that the future arrival of serving as a garrison captain will not be limited to the relative generals of the Cao Xiahou clan and the Guo clan.

Although now on the surface, the military power set by Guo Peng in various places is basically controlled by the relatives of the Cao Xiahou clan.

Of course, they are indeed capable of leading these 3,000 garrison troops to serve as garrison tasks.

Regarding the inexplicable concerns and excitement of others, Guo said that he had no fluctuations in his heart.

Because even if some of the troops were allowed to garrison in various places, he still did not worry about his absolute control over the army.

Not to mention the officers at the grassroots level, just talking about his six-year garrison rotation system can also ensure that the army is under his control.

When Guo Peng was concerned about the actual prevention needs of the local government, he also set up a rotation system. On the surface, he claimed that it was a slight stewardship and gave all soldiers the same opportunity to guard the state boundaries. In fact, it was to ensure his control over the army to the greatest extent.

Many times, when making political and military decisions, decision makers will encounter dilemma.

How to find the most suitable balance point is to compare the level of decision makers.

Loyalty is not innate, it is cultivated in nature. As long as the rules are done properly, it is impossible not to be loyal.

If you want to rebel, you need to have conditions, right?

Mr. Guo asked himself that the methods were not inferior, and they were all open and open plots. The rules and regulations that were determined from the beginning. Those who followed him very early were already accustomed to his own style.

For those who later defected, this was equivalent to change, but for the old subordinates, it was daily.

So Guan Yu didn't find it strange, Cao Ren didn't find it strange, that is, Zhang Liao felt it was a little strange.

Especially when he knew that he and Guan Yu were the only two foreign generals who were commanding troops, he was even more surprised.

Then he took the initiative to ask his family to be arranged to live in Lu County and ask Guo Peng to take care of him.

Guo Peng nodded with a smile, thinking that Zhang Liao is quite promising.

In addition, Guan Yu also has a great future. When he learned that he would take office as the governor of Chenliu, in addition to his wife and youngest son Guan Xing staying in Lu County, he also took the initiative to ask Guo Peng to transfer his eldest son Guan Ping away from him.

Guo Peng was very satisfied with Guan Yu's awareness, so he sent Guan Ping to the army of the Lu State garrison Guo Lie.

These things are not important, they are already routine, and everyone is the same.

The relatives and generals must set an example and will not receive additional preferential treatment just because they are relatives. The Cao Xiahou and Guo family also live in Lu County. Guo Peng wants to show everyone his attitude of being fair.

So that doesn't matter.

At least compared to what Guo Peng will do next, it is quite unimportant.
