At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

Page 186

The roads that can be used by the army are very limited these days. Because of the lack of development, large areas are still densely populated with primitive jungles and bushes. If you want to change the road, it will take more time.

Yuan Shao could only bite the bullet and build the road.

As a result, there is a pit on one side and a mound on the other. I don’t know where to set traps. Many roads that must be passed are full of traps. A few steps away is a trap, and many people died.

In this way, Yuan Shao's army was like a frightened bird, advancing as slowly as a snail crawling forward.

Seeing this, Yuan Shao felt anxious, but there was nothing he could do. He didn't have wings, so he couldn't fly, and there was no one around, so he couldn't get help.

Guo Peng, you can, you really can!

Yuan Shao gritted his teeth and hated Guo Peng.

PS: From Chapter 320 to Chapter 320, Chapter [-] has been reworked, and then three new chapters have been added. OK, I'm going to bed. Good night everyone.

Chapter 333

When Yuan Shao gritted his teeth and hated Guo Peng, Guo Peng was sitting in Handan in person, replying to letters from Cheng Li, Xun Yu, and Chen Gong.

Before, Guo Peng learned the news that Yuan Shao's strength had risen greatly after he regained his prestige, and then discussed this matter with Guo Jia and Xi Zhong.

Then, I wrote to ask Xun Yu, Cheng Li and Chen Gong to see what they thought.

This is very important. When Yuan Shao suddenly revived with full blood and reloaded, Guo Peng's original advantages seemed to have disappeared, and he even fell into decline.

At this time, whether one's own camp is stable, whether the morale of the army is floating, whether the rear is stable, and whether the confidence of civil servants and generals is shaken are all very important.

Guo Peng needs to know, needs to understand, and then evaluates how to award rewards after the war, how to reorganize power, who to include in the core group, who to exclude from the core group, and so on.

People who waver at this time and have no confidence in themselves must never be included in the core group, because the subsequent series of actions must be based on this.

The goal of backdoor listing is ultimately to go public, rather than borrowing a shell and finishing the job.

Guo Peng needs his own subordinates, not the subordinates of Yuan Shu's subordinates.

Therefore, the most important assessment target is the five great advisers under his command.

Seeing that Guo Peng seemed to want to retreat, Xi Zhong and Guo Jia hurriedly stopped him.

They put out a lot of evidence to prove that Guo Peng is far superior to Yuan Shao. From the aspects of logistics, organization, food sources, ordnance supply and internal unity, it proves that Yuan Shao is superficially strong but internally weak. As long as he hits hard, he can completely eradicate Yuan Shao. The forces in Jizhou.

Pass.

Then came Chen Gong.

At this time, Chen Gong was teaming up with Cao Hong to confront Chunyuqiong's troops with Yuan Shao's troops in Bohai County. After receiving Guo Peng's letter, he immediately replied.

Said that they have the confidence to thwart the attack of Yuan Shao's generals, Guo Peng must believe in himself, never retreat, must persist in resistance, Yuan Shao will be defeated.

From this letter, Guo Peng could see that Chen Gong at least hated Yuan Shao very much, and he was not completely inferior to Yuan Shao.

However, Chen Gong mentioned Yuan Shu later, saying that it was very meaningful for Guo Peng to use Yuan Shu's banner to attack Yuan Shao, and he must not give up, and the results will be seen soon.

Well, very good, I have great confidence in Yuan Shu.

Included in the pending area.

Then there are Cheng Li and Xun Yu.

Cheng Li just incidentally, the most important thing is Xun Yu.

Cheng Li had long stated that he wanted to be Guo Peng's closest retainer, he would never betray Guo Peng, and he would not care about Yuan Shu, so he was quite resolute in his reply.

He said that Guo Peng would definitely be able to defeat Yuan Shao, and he would never back down, just persevere, Yuan Shao was only tough on the outside, but ruthless on the inside.

Then Cheng Li suggested that Guo Peng adopt a strategy of strengthening the walls and clearing the fields to block the enemy's advance, shrinking the defense line, concentrating troops, and then looting all the population and materials in a certain area to Wei County or Dong County, creating a population vacuum zone, preventing Yuan Shao from obtaining it on the spot. supply.

Then destroy roads and bridges, etc., reducing Yuan Shao's logistical supply capacity.

Guo Peng thought this strategy was very good, and after discussing it with Guo Jia and Xi Zhong, he decided to adopt it.

Cheng Li is really thinking about Guo Peng, and hopes that Guo Peng will go further No.1.

And Xun Yu is the one that Guo Peng is not sure about. Although Guo Peng is close to Xun Yu on the surface and trusts Xun Yu very much, in fact he is not that close, nor does he trust Xun Yu that much, and he always reserves some leeway for Xun Yu. .

This is mainly because Xun Yu's family background is so good, the son of a top-notch gentry family has far surpassed Guo Peng, and the family scriptures have a profound foundation, so there is no need to study "Little Dulu".

More importantly, Xun Yu has a deep affection for the Han Dynasty and is a rare gentleman.

Such people are relieved, but once they get into trouble, they will be troubled to death.

Guo Peng valued his ability, but had no interest in his ideals. He felt that Xun Yu took refuge in him because he liked his personality and believed that he could help the Han Dynasty.

This is nothing in itself, anyway, this character set will last for a while, but at this time, Guo Peng also wants to ask Xun Yu, do you really think he is better than Yuan Shao?

Do you really think that Yuan Shao is more suitable for safeguarding the interests that Xun Yu is focusing on?Or Yuan Shu?

Xun Yu's reply is a bit interesting.

Xun Yu first asked Guo Peng to give up the idea of ​​retreating, pointing out that things have come to this point, if you advance, you will live, and if you retreat, you will die. You must go forward, pierce Yuan Shao's false armor, and expose his weakness.

"General Ming wins Shao, brave beats Shao, employs people to win Shao, reserves wins Shao, the generals in the past were brave enough to face an enemy ten times as fierce as their own, but now they feel panic because Yuan Benchu's [-] troops marched south And retreat? Even if there is no Yuan Gonglu, the general should insist."

Xun Yu also played aggressive tactics.

Guo Peng smiled knowingly at this, and felt that Xun Yu seemed to have seen his worries, so he revealed that he didn't like Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu at all.

Well, even Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu look down on them.

Very good, included in the pending area.

However, Xun Yu also said a little thing later, which Guo Peng found quite interesting.

Xun Yu told Guo Peng that when he was working with Cheng Li, he once heard Cheng Li mention that Cheng Li often dreamed when he was a child, dreaming that he was standing on the top of Mount Tai holding up a round of the sun.

I have had this dream many times, so Cheng Li still remembers it so far. It happened that I had this dream again recently. Cheng Li was surprised and told Xun Yu about it in private.

Xun Yu asked Guo Peng what he thought of the dream.

Guo Peng put down Xun Yu's letter, held his chin in silence for a while, and then smiled a little.

Taishan holds the sun, are you encouraging me?

So Guo Peng wrote a reply letter to Xun Yu and Cheng Li respectively, expressing that he understood their intentions and would definitely face up to the difficulties to kill Yuan Shao, and then mentioned Cheng Li's dream.

Guo Peng said that since Cheng Li dreamed that he was standing on the top of Mount Tai and holding the sun, it meant that this was an omen and a hint from God. In order to comply with the hint from God, Guo Peng suggested that Cheng Li change his name a little.

Change "Li" to "Yu".

Ever since, Cheng Li reloaded and became Cheng Yu.

Then, Guo Peng thought again and again, and crossed out Xun Yu's name from the pending area.

Observe and observe again.

This person is quite contradictory.

However, from the reactions of the five advisers, Guo Peng felt that what he had gained and accumulated through his hard work as a dog was really useful.

Yingchuan Guo's Legal Vocational College is a success.

At the critical moment, my rear is relatively stable, and the core strategists are well prepared.

Facing Yuan Shao's sudden violent rise, they remained calm and calm, and immediately adopted a variety of strategies to counteract it, weakening Yuan Shao's strength and offsetting his local combat advantages. It must be said that it had nothing to do with their hard work.

If the opponent wasn't Yuan Shao, if the opponent wasn't Yuan Shao who was the descendant of Meng Shiyi from the fourth generation and third prince's family, then this battle for Jizhou might have ended.

But even though it is Yuan Shao, there is still no suspense in this war.

Although Mr. Guo complained very much and was very jealous of the great energy of the Four Generations and Three Dukes, he was not panicked at all.

Sacrifice your life to lick the dog, and obtained the qualification to temporarily use the name of the Fourth Lord and the Third Lord. If you attack me with the name of the Fourth Lord and the Third Lord, I will use the Fourth Lord and the Third Lord to fight back against you. Who is stronger?Who is weak?

Catch up all the guys who invested in Yuan Shao until they were completely devastated, help him to completely and completely grasp most of the resources and interests of Jizhou, seize all their land, population and materials, and maximize their benefits.

I am a dog because I have the opportunity to be a human in the future. How can I be a human if I don’t get the things in your hands as confidence?

If I don't use Yuan Shao's head as my confidence, how can I be a human being?

How can I be a person if I don't get the three states of Hebei and become the number one prince in the world?

There is also someone surnamed Yuan standing in front of me, how can I be a human being! ! !

bring it on!Yuan Shao!I can't wait!I can't wait to step on your dead body to the next level!

bring it on!Yuan Shao!Do your best!Do your best to kill me!Let me experience the all-round suppression of your noble bloodlines!Make me feel hopeless!scares me!

Then, kill you.

Someone Guo covered his mouth tightly.

You can't laugh, you can't laugh out loud, you can't let others know what joy is in your heart, what ecstasy it is!

It's not far away from the day of being a human being, really not far away.

Chapter 334 .330 Three Anxious Yuan Shao

On the ninth day of August, after Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang encountered Zhang Liao's resistance in the north of Handan and were defeated, they originally wanted to regroup and fight again, but because the supplies could not keep up, they retreated all the way back to Nanhe County.

At this time, Yuan Shao's marching avenue had just been built from Changtao County to Nanhe County, and nearly half of the journey needed to be repaired and arranged.

Only in this way can the army be transported to Handan at the forefront, and face to face with Guo Peng.

The supply line has been greatly elongated, and it doesn't look like a home game at all.

And Guo Peng didn't seem to have the idea of ​​marching at all, so he lay comfortably in Handan and waited for Yuan Shao to work hard to lay the marching road in front of him, and then sent the army to him.

Yuan Shao was very annoyed by this, so he continued to send small groups of cavalry troops to go south to Handan with several days' rations on their backs, to spy on military intelligence and show Guo Peng a little color.

There was no fluctuation in Guo Peng's heart.

Faced with the harassment of Yuan Shao's small cavalry unit, they also sent out a small group of cavalry units to carry out the harassment in a targeted manner, and also made a targeted detour to attack the marching road that Yuan Shao was building.

Guo Peng used experienced generals, such as Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Cao Chun, Zhang Liao, Cheng Lian, Hao Meng, etc., each leading a small group of cavalry, to attack Yuan Shao northward with several days' rations on their backs.

Small groups of troops infiltrated from all directions, attacking day and night, destroying Yuan Shao's marching avenue construction work, and greatly slowing down Yuan Shao's marching speed.

A small group of cavalry came and went like the wind, and it was difficult to attack at all.

However, Yuan Shao's superior army must stay in a place with sufficient food, and cannot advance rashly until the marching avenue and supply line are completed, otherwise, once the food runs out, the sky will collapse.

It is the so-called three armies that go first without using food and grass.

Yuan Shao was very troubled by this, and his advisers could not come up with more effective solutions.

People want to eat, beyond human ability.

With [-] soldiers, and the civilian auxiliary soldiers after leaving the home field advantage, Yuan Shao's food consumption has surpassed Guo Peng, and he began to feel the pressure of food and grass transfer.

However, after Guo Peng occupied Wei County and grabbed the summer grain from the surrounding areas, the grain and grass became more abundant than ever, the grain roads were also safe, and the pressure on grain was far less than that of Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao was anxious to attack, anxious to show his followers his ability, so he had to take the initiative to attack.

He can't drag, dragging and dragging to polish off the grain and grass of others, so what should we do?

People help you fight with real money from their own pockets, and spend hard-earned money to support you every day, but you are doing foreign work?

Yuan Shao could clearly feel the impetuous atmosphere in the army recently.

There is also dissatisfaction from followers.

So Yuan Shao could only take the initiative.

In order to speed up the marching process, Yuan Shao ordered the army to accompany the escort. Wherever the marching avenue was repaired, the army would advance wherever it went, so as to save time and protect the marching avenue.

So Guo Peng didn't send a small group of cavalry to harass him any more. Instead, he increased the damage to the road ahead and set up more traps, which caused Yuan Shao even more trouble.

Yuan Shao was in a hurry and personally supervised the work, prompting the army to continue to speed up and speed up, and finally arrived in Yiyang County on August 23, the fourth year of Chuping.

At this time, Yuan Jun's morale can no longer be compared with that when he first set off. When he first set off, the arrogant and self-respecting aura was scary to look at, but now everyone seems to have become Buddhist.

But Yuan Shao felt relieved instead.

Because after arriving here, it means that the war is just around the corner. Isn't the reason why Guo Peng procrastinates like this because he is afraid of himself?

Under the crushing of absolute strength, even Guo, who is superior in intelligence and good at commanding troops, is not Yuan Benchu's opponent!
