Regarding the question raised by Cai Mao, Kuai Yue already had an idea.

"Gan Ning, Sun Wei, Sun Fu and others, the lost dogs, can they really master the Jingzhou soldiers? Will the Jingzhou soldiers obey their orders or follow the orders of Huang Hansheng and others? If the king is dead, they will have no backer, and if there is no backer, will there be an army to support them?

Gongziqi is in Jiangling, not in Jiangxia, as long as we can control Gongziqi, we don't worry about what Huang Zu will do, so the situation is determined, Gongzicong will naturally not oppose Wei Tianzi in Luoyang like Zhijun, what do you think? ”

Kuai Yue looked at Cai Mao and Kuai Liang.

Cai Mao and Kuai Liang looked at each other, and they didn't know how to express their emotions for a while.

But only one thing they are sure of is this.

They absolutely did not allow Liu Biao to start a war in Jingzhou, turning Jingzhou into a battlefield and turning their family property into ashes.

How many generations of their ancestors have been deeply cultivating in Jingzhou, developing in Jingzhou, taking countless risks, and the ancestors of the past generations have worked hard to get this ancestral business, and now they want to watch this ancestral industry be martyred for Liu Biao?

No way!

If Liu Biao insists on turning Jingzhou into a battlefield and harms their interests, they will take all necessary or unnecessary actions to ensure that their interests are not harmed.

They don't want that day to come, but if it does, they won't hesitate.

When it is really necessary, then even unscrupulous means must protect their interests from damage, this is their last bottom line, and it is also the last insistence, which is the most spicy satire of Liu Biao, the representative.

And Liu Biao is pushing them hard at the "necessary moment", forcing them to prepare to do this kind of rebellious thing.

The anger in the hearts of Jingzhou people is burning, and the dissatisfaction with Liu Biao, a foreign ruler, is also growing day by day, and it is swelling violently.

The contradictions between the two sides are on the verge of breaking out.

At this necessary moment, Guo Peng also had a symbolic discussion with his ministers on whether to launch a war against Jingzhou and Yizhou.

After becoming the emperor, Guo Peng set his own rules to standardize the number of days and a government meeting that was not stipulated in the Qin and Han dynasties, stipulating that the emperor would have a dynasty every five days, and the three o'clock of the hour would officially begin, and in case of emergency, the afternoon dynasty and even the evening dynasty would be urgently convened from time to time to discuss urgent military affairs.

Soon, the officials figured out Guo Peng's habits.

The five-day morning pilgrimage is like a work summing up meeting, bringing some important administrative issues and handling plans to the court since the fifth day, so that the officials and deputies in charge of various central departments can understand and know how to deal with them, and then symbolically listen to everyone's opinions.

In fact, how to deal with these things is actually carried out in the afternoon or evening dynasty.

Although Guo Yuan and Cui Yan dissuaded Guo Peng from "indulging in pleasure", this may be their stress reaction to the disaster of the party in the Huan Ling era, which was too harsh.

However, although Guo Peng stipulated that there was a court every five days, and it was not true that he only met with the ministers once on the fifth day, the noon and evening dynasties, he held them every day, and the state affairs that should be discussed did not fall at all, and he was by no means a prince who neglected his government.

Of course, it is impossible to discuss government affairs with thousands of officials in the entire Luoyang City, and it must only be discussed with the heads of some departments.

The major affairs of the military state are discussed with these people, the results are made, and the implementation is issued, and then a summary meeting is made at the court meeting on the fifth day, and the trivial matters are solved by the people below, and anyway, they are finally summarized to the Cabinet Audit Department.

Every day in the court, not to mention Guo Peng himself, the first thing he can't stand is the ministers.

Some of them live in remote places in Luoyang, and it takes time and effort to get to the palace, and they get up before dawn, and they can't sleep when the ghosts are asleep, or they will die of overwork in a few days.

In response to the reactions of Jingzhou and Yizhou, Guo Peng also dealt with it in the Wu Dynasty.

The official early dynasty was held in the main hall of Fengtian Hall, which he had built, while the afternoon and evening dynasties were held in his personal study, the Qinzheng Hall.

Fengtian Temple is a symbolic existence, a symbol of the highest power, and the Qinzheng Hall is the core of power in the entire Wei Empire.

Guo Peng's personal study is here, and the workplace of Guo Peng's confidential secretarial department and cabinet is also here.

In addition, only some important eunuch yamen are here, and the other official offices are outside the palace and inside the imperial city.

This can also see Guo Peng's attention and closeness to the cabinet.

Every time Guo Peng dealt with government affairs, he would call Cao Cao, the first assistant of the cabinet, and other courtiers to discuss it together, and then make a decision, and then the cabinet would draft the decree on his behalf, Guo Peng would personally approve it, and then send it to the specific department of Shangshutai to be responsible for implementation.

Coupled with the power of auditing, the importance of the cabinet began to become apparent, and in a matter of months, the number of people who went to Cao Cao's mansion to pay homage to Thela increased exponentially.

Cao's mansion was full of traffic, and there was an endless stream of people who came to visit and give gifts to try to make friends, and Cao Cao told Guo Peng more than once that he didn't even dare to go home.

I was afraid that as soon as I appeared, I would be surrounded to death by those who were eager to ask for help.

Guo Peng laughed, very interested.

However, Cao Cao still quite understood Guo Peng's intention in handing over the cabinet to him.

Because the power of auditing is not something that anyone can hold, Cao Cao is Guo Peng's wife and brother, his own person, and he offends some powerful people, so he is not afraid of some people.

This condition is not something that everyone can have.

This authority is placed in Cao Cao's hands, Guo Peng is still relatively relieved, because Cao Cao's back is himself, he is closest to himself, so when dealing with government affairs, he also takes Cao Cao with him, shows his trust in Cao Cao, and gives him a platform.

This time, Liu Zhang's claim to be the emperor and Liu Biao's claim to be the king of the incident, also had a fierce discussion in the Qinzheng Palace, and even the imperial historian Guo Hong and the imperial history of Cheng Qiaorui were called to participate in the political meeting, in order to prevent the courtiers from discussing too fiercely, thus causing the situation of loss of honor in front of the palace.

In fact, there is nothing to discuss about the fundamental goal, everyone says that the emperor is going to call on people with lofty ideals in the world to crusade against the Guo Wei puppet dynasty, so what else is there to talk about?

Beat him! Destroy him!

The issue of debate is whether to send troops to Jingzhou first, or to Yizhou first, or to march together on both roads.

The ministers were divided into three factions, debating fiercely and arguing passionately, if Guo Hong and Qiao Rui hadn't spoken out in time to stop it, these people would really be able to fight.

"At the beginning of the new dynasty, it is necessary to defeat the enemy to proclaim the prestige of the country, and this is the time when the two sides need to march together to defeat the rebellion! At this time, if you don't sweep away the rebellion in one breath and delay it for a long time, you don't know what variables will be born!

Your Majesty, the minister thinks that no matter what, this battle should be a two-way march, marching together, attacking Jingzhou all the way, attacking Yizhou all the way, sweeping away all the enemies in one breath, and dominating the world, so as to show the orthodoxy of Wei! ”

Dong Zhao, the secretary of the Ministry of War, resolutely fought the main battle, not only the main battle, but also the main two-way march of the army, pacified the south in one go, and did not give anyone superfluous illusions.

Dong Zhao was defeated by Guo Peng in the process of pacifying Yuan Shao and then surrendered.

So Guo Peng inspected his merits before and after the establishment of the country, and promoted him to the Central Committee to be the secretary of the military department, a position that can only be done by people who need overall planning ability and have no friendship with generals from all walks of life.
