At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

Page 134

"My family is still waiting for me to go back, I don't want to die!"

"The reinforcements are gone, we will be trapped here!"

"The food is gone, let alone outsiders come in, we will all starve to death!"

"I don't want to die, I don't want to die!"

"Surrender, surrender! Didn't Guo Qingzhou say that? If you surrender, you can live!"

"Yes! Surrender! Surrender can save your life!"

Once such an atmosphere is created, it cannot be stopped like the spread of the plague.

Soon, from the top of the city to the city, a large number of desperate soldiers had the idea of ​​surrendering, and finally gathered a powerful momentum, demanding that the main general Qu Yi agree to surrender.

Qu Yi was not willing to surrender, betraying Han Fu and following Yuan Shao had already made him notorious, if he betrayed Yuan Shao again, wouldn't he be a family slave of the three surnames?

Who would dare to use themselves then?

Wouldn't his own reputation be completely abolished?

He didn't believe that Yuan Shao would sit back and watch his ten thousand soldiers be trapped in the city.

Yuan Shao will definitely come to rescue, although the result is unknown, but right now, there is enough food for two months.

He adopted the strategy of releasing grain from Xiaohu.

By not giving soldiers enough food to slow down the rate of food consumption, it can be delayed for another half a month, adding up to a total of nearly three months. During these three months, Yuan Shao will definitely find a way come to the rescue.

Qu Yi planned this way, but the soldiers might not necessarily think so.

Guo Peng asked the soldiers with loud voices to keep shouting to the city, telling them to give up their illusions, stop making unnecessary sacrifices, surrender, and go home. Guo Qingzhou promised not to kill them and let them go home.

The hearts of the soldiers in the city became more restless day by day.

It just so happened that at this time, Qu Yi used small dendrobium to provide food, and the soldiers were not satisfied with enough to eat, and they were very worried for their lives.

So some people began to spread rumors that there was not enough food in the city, and Qu Yi wanted to take everyone to die together.

Such rumors really have a market, and soon spread to the entire army. After three days of patience, some people finally couldn't help it.

On March 28, a very violent internal strife broke out in the county. Those who wanted to surrender and those who did not want to surrender were divided into two factions to fight, and the city was in chaos.

Guo Peng was overjoyed when he heard the news, and immediately seized this great opportunity to lead his troops to attack the city.

Cao Hong took the lead, and took the lead in killing the city wall with a large shield. He led hundreds of soldiers to fight the city wall, opened the city gate, and Yu Jin led his army into the county, and everything was settled.

In the chaos, Qu Yi led a bloody fight with his own guards. With a strong will, he led a few of his own soldiers out of the city, and fled to the north in embarrassment. Guo Peng sent people to chase him, but he failed to catch up.

However, the entire Yuan Army defenders in the county were wiped out, more than 3000 were killed in battle, and all the rest were captured.

Yuan Shao's strategy of Qingzhou has failed completely so far, the failure was straightforward, and the loss was particularly large.

Although he himself is leading an army of ten thousand people to Qingyuan County in Wei County, he will soon realize what a stupid thing he has done.

On March 28th, Guo Peng recovered the county seat of Liguo and completely expelled Yuan Shao's army from Qingzhou. At the same time, Yuan Shao also received the proclamation that Guo Peng ordered Chen Lin to write.

That article on the crusade against Yuan Shao.

This essay makes a big fuss about Yuan Shao's status as the concubine's son, and mocks Yuan Shao for being a monkey.

He is obviously a concubine, but he shamelessly uses the name of the Yuan family to do his best, treats the orthodox Yuan family heir Yuan Shu as nothing, and insults Yuan Shu.

The proclamation also discussed Yuan Shao's life experience, and boldly stated that Yuan Shao was not of the blood of the Yuan family, which just echoed the statement that Yuan Shu slandered Yuan Shao for not being a descendant of the Yuan family when Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao had a verbal war.

Yuan Shao was suddenly so angry that one Buddha ascended to heaven and two Buddhas came out of his body, and almost passed out. After that, he desperately clamored to hit Qingzhou to chop off Guo Peng's head and kick it as a ball.

In the end, it didn't take long. On the evening of March 29, Yuan Shao met Yan Liang, who had finally escaped with his life, at the Qingyuan County resident.

The two knelt in front of Yuan Shao and begged for mercy from Yuan Shao tremblingly.

"You lost? A total of [-] troops, you lost?! Wen Chou is still dead?!"

Yuan Shao looked at Yan Liang incredulously, he hoped that he was joking with himself.

Of course, he also knows that, how can someone make jokes about military matters?

Xu You and Feng Ji were too frightened to say a word. They never imagined that before Yuan Shao's army arrived, Yan Liang's army was wiped out, and Wen Chou's life was ruined.

This made their full of tactics and strategies come to naught.

Yuan Shao was just about to faint from being scolded by Guo Peng's crusade, but now that he heard the news, he rolled his eyes and passed out immediately.

Unlike the previous times when he pretended to pass out for various reasons, Yuan Shao really passed out this time, he was out of breath, breathing too fast, and passed out.

The people around were in chaos.

While Yuan Shao was in a coma, more bad news came.

After defeating the armies of Yan Liang and Wen Chou, Guo Peng did not withdraw his troops. Instead, he sent his troops into the Qinghe Kingdom, aggressively attacking counties and villages in the Qinghe Kingdom.

Destroy houses and buildings wherever they go, and then rob people and materials to go to Qingzhou, just like a robber.

Xu You and Feng Ji turned pale with fright, unable to make decisions without authorization, they could only wait for Yuan Shao to wake up.

When Yuan Shao woke up, they received the news that Guo Peng's army had entered Bohai County to loot the population and destroy houses and buildings.

After Yuan Shao learned about it, he was so angry that he almost couldn't bear it.

He never expected Guo Peng's revenge to come so fast and so violently.

Guo Peng didn't mean to be joking with Yuan Shao at all.

He just wanted to kill Yuan Shao, although there was no condition for a full-scale war with Yuan Shao, but sooner or later he would kill Yuan Shao.

It is good to weaken a little now, and it is good to strengthen yourself.

Quyi attacked Qingzhou, destroyed some facilities in Geguo County, and killed some civilians. Guo Peng sent troops into Qinghe Kingdom and Bohai County, wantonly plundering people and materials.

In fact, Guo Peng originally planned to take advantage of the chaos to occupy several counties in Jizhou. Anyway, he had an excuse.

But Xun Yu dissuaded Guo Peng.

"When Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty guarded Kanto and Emperor Guangwu occupied Hanoi, they first consolidated the base to control the world. In this way, they can win by advancing and defend by retreating. Therefore, despite the difficulties and twists and turns, they can finally complete the great cause.

The general was originally ordered to guard Qingzhou and pacify the Yellow Turban in Qingzhou.

Although Yuan Shao committed unrighteous actions, his family has four generations and three generations, and his disciples and old officials are all over the world. If you raise your arms, there will still be people responding. It will not disappear after a defeat. Now is the time to consolidate Qingzhou. I hope the general will be aware of it. "

Xun Yu suggested this to Guo Peng, and Guo Peng thought it made sense.

Afterwards, Cheng Li proposed to Guo Peng the idea of ​​plundering the population, and Xi Zhong reconsidered. Both of them believed that doing so would bring huge troubles to Yuan Shao to a considerable extent, making Yuan Shao have no time to continue to seek Qingzhou.

Chapter 244 Three I have never seen such a brazen person!

Taking advantage of this rare opportunity, Guo Peng can lead his army to calmly wipe out the Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou and completely control Qingzhou.

Then through the garrison policy, Qingzhou will be built into a logistics base camp that can provide a large amount of food, and then you can seek some things you want from the outside world.

If Guo Peng wants to continue to take revenge on Yuan Shao, he also needs to consolidate Qingzhou. Qingzhou is Guo Peng's basic base. Qingzhou is unstable and everything is nothingness.

Therefore, Guo Peng gave up the idea of ​​occupying some land in Jizhou and starting a war with Yuan Shao, and instead plundered the population, destroyed buildings, and attacked Yuan Shao's war potential.

These populations can be resettled in various parts of Qingzhou, and resettled in places that lack population and are sparsely populated, so as to supplement the population that has been reduced due to war and famine, and increase the war potential on their own side.

Not only that, but also put on a posture of attacking Wei County, the core area ruled by Yuan Shao, which caught Yuan Shao who was stationed in Qingyuan County off guard.

Yuan Shao was also really caught off guard. He had just heard the news of the defeat here, but there was another bad news one after another over there.

Not long after I took control of Jizhou, I failed consecutively. Not only did I lose the army, but I also lost the population of the two counties.

Not only that, Guo Peng actually sent troops to march towards Wei County!

Guo Peng personally commanded tens of thousands of troops to plunder people and supplies in Qinghe country, and then personally led his troops to march towards Weijun, as if he wanted to fight Yuan Shao to the death.

Yuan Shao really panicked.

Xu You and Feng Ji used their brains urgently in this situation, and immediately spoke to Yuan Shao.

First, deploy troops to reinforce, consolidate the defense line of Qingyuan County, and assume the posture of a desperate battle.

Second, write to the governor of Youzhou and Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou, and send gifts to the two governors, asking for help, and asking them to send troops to support your side, especially Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou. Please ask Liu Dai to send troops to attack Qingzhou to contain Guo Peng's military strength forced Guo Peng to withdraw his troops.

Third, write a letter to Guo Peng, argue with Guo Peng, and delay time.

Yuan Shao regained his composure a little bit, and adopted the strategy of the two of them.

Send troops to guard all the main roads, then write to Zong Yuan and Liu Dai, asking them to send troops to support, and then write to Guo Peng.

In his letter, Yuan Shao described the happy past of drinking and having fun with Guo Peng in Luoyang, and asked why he sent troops to Qingzhou to help Guo Peng wipe out the Yellow Turban Army but was treated like this?

Yuan Shao wanted to ask Guo Peng for an explanation.

When Guo Peng received the letter, he really wanted to yell from the bottom of his heart——I have never seen such a brazen person!

But after thinking about it, Guo Peng realized that he might actually be more brazen than Yuan Shao, so instead of yelling, he wrote it.

How brazen are you, Yuan Shao, for making it clear that you are trying to seize the territory, but you still say that you are helping me put down the chaos, talking nonsense with your eyes open?

You are just a bastard, and you, Yuan Shao, have the audacity to abuse Yuan's name?

Whether you are your father's son or not is not certain, even Yuan Shu said no, I think it is still open to debate, so how brazen are you, Yuan Shao?

How brazen are you, Yuan Shao, to say that you are your father's son without a drop of blood?

How do you still have the face to live?If I were you, I would be ashamed to go out to meet people, and I would be ashamed of you!So you, Yuan Shao, are so brazen?

Finally, a summary-

I have never seen such a brazen person!

Then Guo Peng returned the letter to Yuan Shao.

As soon as Yuan Shao opened the bamboo slips, he saw that the whole text was full of swear words, and there were swear words that doubted his blood identity, so he smashed everything in the tent.

Then he desperately wanted to send out troops, to catch Guo Peng himself, and fry him in a frying pan!

Xu You and Feng Ji tried their best to persuade Yuan Shao.

Then the two took Guo Peng's letter, looked at it, and thought that if they were Yuan Shao, they probably couldn't help it.

It's too bad, actually catching someone's sore feet and scolding them to death, burying them to death, anyone else would explode.

Guo Zifeng is sharp in war and unambiguous in cursing people. The skill of cursing people is really quite terrifying.

From then on, Xu You and Feng Ji began to fear Guo Peng deeply.

When Guo Peng marched, they watched Guo Peng wantonly looting people and supplies in Bohai County of Qinghe State, and they dared not send troops to fight Guo Peng.

On the other side, Yuan Shao's letter was quickly delivered to Zong Yuan and Liu Dai.

The Zong member received the letter and saw that Yuan Shao wanted to send troops to fight Guo Peng, so he shook his head again and again.

He is Guo Peng's old superior, he has been friends for many years, and the relationship is quite good, how could it be possible for Yuan Shao and Guo Peng to meet each other, and now Yuan Shao is deflated, so he would not do such a stupid thing.

However, the gifts Yuan Shao gave were indeed many, which were very touching. After much deliberation, the clan members decided to write a letter of persuasion to Guo Peng.

In the letter, he persuaded Guo Peng to strike a truce, which was considered an effort, and he had an explanation to Yuan Shao, and he didn't want to get involved in the outcome.

And Liu Dai is different.

After killing Qiao Mao, Liu Dai's power increased greatly, and his whole person became a little swollen. He was very jealous of Guo Peng's big show when he was fighting against Dong Zhuo.

After receiving Yuan Shao's request for help and a large amount of treasure, Liu Dai felt that Yuan Shao's fourth generation and third prince had a high status, so he decided to help Yuan Shao, and sent his confidant Dongjun prefect Wang Gong to lead [-] troops to the south of Pingyuan State to contain Guo Peng's advance.

On the sixth day of April, Liu Dai's army entered the southern part of Pingyuan State and marched towards Gaotang County. Xin Ping, the magistrate of Gaotang County, mobilized strong men to defend the city, and urgently asked Guo Peng for help.

On the other side, Guo Peng detected this information in time, and before Xin Ping's request for help arrived, he sent Cao Hong and Yu Jin to lead [-] troops to Gaotang County to assist Gaotang County Magistrate Xin Ping in defending the city.

On the seventh day of April, the persuasion letter from the sect members was delivered. After Guo Peng read it, he remained silent.

At that time, Cheng Li, Xun Yu, Guo Jia, and Xi Zhong accompanied Guo Peng in the military camp of Qinghe Kingdom, facing the situation of being attacked by two fronts, they were somewhat unexpected.

To be honest, Guo Peng didn't expect Liu Dai to be so bachelor and directly sided with Yuan Shao, and his crusade against Yuan Shao should have already been delivered.

"It seems that at least for now, the reputation of the fourth generation and the third prince is still not something I can shake. After leaving Qingzhou, my popularity cannot be compared with Yuan Shao."

Guo Peng sighed, put down the persuasion letter from the clan members, and looked at the four advisers: "What do you think I should do?"

The four looked at each other.

Xun Yu stood up first, and said, "Duke Ming bears the expectation of millions of elders in Qingzhou, so you must cherish yourself. In the current situation, Yuan Shao is in the upper hand. Our army may not be able to defeat Yuan Shao if we continue to fight, but we will also pay our own way." serious price.
