At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

Guo Peng plans to deploy two armies in Dongjun, one is the main force, directly invading Jizhou, and the other is auxiliary, starting from Yan County and entering Hanoi.

As long as the mission of the Pingyuan Kingdom's partial division is to take down Bohai County and Qinghe Kingdom, it only deploys [-] soldiers and horses, and the partial division that attacks Hanoi also has [-] soldiers and horses.

The main force of [-] was led by Guo Peng himself to attack Wei County, take Yecheng, and destroy Yuan Shao's ruling core.

In other words, this battle was a three-way attack, leaving Yuan Shao without any power to fight back, and was defeated as soon as the battle started.

Sweep Jizhou with thunder, kill Yuan Shao, end this war, occupy Hanoi County and Jizhou, and then start to consolidate and digest this large territory, and further build Jizhou into a forward base for advancing the two states.

Therefore, Dongjun needs to prepare enough food and fodder for [-] troops, and Pingyuan Country needs to prepare food and fodder for [-] troops, as well as the carrying capacity of all food supplies needed in the future.

Together with the war, Dongjun and Pingyuan Kingdom are the rear of the army, and the grain storage base is equivalent to two distribution centers.

All the military supplies in Qingyan and Yanzhou were collected in Dongjun, and then transported from Dongjun to the front line of the war.

This is an extremely severe test for the administrative teams of the entire East County and Plain Country.

Pingyuan Country is fine, the workload is not so heavy, Zang Hong and his team can handle it, and with the help of Chen Gong, it is relatively easy.

Since receiving the order, Cao Cao has been extremely busy day and night, so busy that he has no time to eat.

Thanks to Guo Peng, who sent Xizhong over there, and asked Xizhong to bring a 100-member computing team to assist, so that the uncle did not get tired.

But Uncle Cao was very happy, and found the meaning and value of his existence from it.

The base camp in Lu County was working overtime day and night, and the strategists and generals were as excited as they were fighting chicken blood to formulate various combat plans and routes.

They constantly put forward various valuable suggestions, and then Guo Peng urgently tried them, made urgent judgments, and urgently sent them to various places for operation.

Once the mobilization force of Qingyan Erzhou, which was basically controlled by Guo Peng, broke out, it would work like a precision machine with all its strength.

If someone can have a little understanding of the war mobilization models in the pre-Qin period and the middle and early Western Han Dynasty, they will find that everything is too similar.

No one doubted that Guo Peng was fully capable of destroying Yuan Shao. They all believed that this battle was a battle that must be won.

The process may be slightly tortuous, because the forces of Youzhou and Bingzhou may be involved, but the ending will not change.

With Guo Peng's careful preparation and strong mobilization force, the impetus he can provide for the army's advancement is far from what Yuan Shao can compete with.

Cheng Li told Guo Peng privately that according to the results of their sand table deduction, the conclusion is that now they only need to issue orders to make preparations. After a few months, Guo Peng will be able to lead an army to gallop across the battlefield in Jizhou and annihilate Yuan Shao.

Then, occupy Hebei.

Become the world's largest prince.

Possess the true strength to aspire to the world.

At that point, there will be no princely force in the world that can threaten Guo Peng.

Yuan Shu...

The greatest use value has been squeezed out. At that point, Yuan Shu's final value is to proclaim himself emperor, and then give Guo Peng a reason to kill him.

According to the intelligence collected by Cheng Li from Huainan in the past few months, Yuan Shu is still constantly fighting everywhere to expand his sphere of influence.

And then, then and then...

What should I do?

Someone Guo suddenly looked forward to such a future.

On the sixth day of May in the fourth year of Chuping, everything was being prepared step by step. According to this speed, at most another month, the preparations for the war would be fully completed, and the army was also assembled at the camp in Lu County, practicing day and night without stopping. Make final preparations for war.

Guo Peng summoned Chen Lin, who was engaged in literature, and gave him an important task.

Write a proposition composition, the content is limited to discuss Yuan Xiwen.

It is different from the previous Call for Yuan Calls, this time the call for Yuan Calls is a call for Yuan Calls without leaving any room, the kind that wants to completely tear apart Yuan Shao and destroy the other party.

Guo Peng also provided Chen Lin with several materials, requesting that they be included in the Yuan Xiwen.

One is that Yuan Shao was not filial. During his father's funeral, he lived in seclusion in Luoyang in name, but in fact he secretly made friends with knight-errants, expanded his reputation, ate meat and drank alcohol, and indulged wantonly.

The second is that Guo Peng suspects that Yuan Shao and Dong Zhuo are secretly uniting and attacking Dong Zhuo on the surface, but in fact they are taking advantage of the patriotic enthusiasm of the Kwantung Allied Forces and have evil intentions.

It was Yuan Shao's main responsibility to use Dong Zhuo's power to weaken the Kwantung righteous warriors while preventing Dong Zhuo from being wiped out. At the critical moment of the battle against Dong Zhuo, he backstabbed his allies and invaded Yuzhou and Qingzhou, resulting in the death of Dong Zhuo without a problem.

The third is that Yuan Shao has always refused to recognize the orthodox identity of today's emperor, slandered the emperor's own flesh and blood, and tried to support another person as emperor. The blatant rebellion was simply unbearable.

The fourth is that the mastermind killed Han Fu, and even blamed him on Zhang Miao, the former prefect of Chenliu, which caused Zhang Miao to be in a bad situation.

The fifth is that after killing Han Fu, he was still worried that Zhang Miao would be hostile to him, so he ordered Lu Bu to invade Chenliu, killed Zhang Miao, destroyed witnesses, and buried his crimes.

Guo Peng asked Chen Lin to exaggerate Yuan Shao's crimes as much as possible from these five aspects, demonize them, and write all of them. The more sensational the better.

Create an unfaithful, unfilial, unkind, and unrighteous bully, destroy Yuan Shao's reputation that he has managed for many years, and make everyone in the world think that it is righteous for him to attack Yuan Shao.

As an important imperial literati, Chen Lin said that this is a small problem, and after a few glasses of wine, the inspiration flowed like a spring, and she wrote an eloquent essay to discuss Yuan with more than a thousand words.

After Guo Peng saw it, he felt that if he was Yuan Shao, he should be able to die of anger, and after he died, he could be revived.

Chen Lin's pen is really killing people without a trace, it's terrible.

Fortunately, this pen is in my hands, and it has become the best weapon for my external publicity. In these years, I have deployed in Qingyan and Erzhou, and I often use Chen Lin's articles to flatter myself, elevate myself, and make myself better. The side that has become absolutely righteous firmly occupies the high ground of public opinion.

With Chen Lin's pen, Guo Peng felt that he could do whatever he wanted.

Chen Lin is really a treasure.

After writing the call to action against Yuan Shao, Guo Peng ordered people to copy dozens of copies, and then he was going to release this call to arms when he dispatched troops, completely breaking with Yuan Shao and sweeping Yuan Shao into the dustbin of history.

On the sixth day of June, the preparations were almost ready, and the stalls for the army could be announced. Guo Peng heard that a war broke out in Guanzhong.

The allied forces of Ma Teng and Han Sui attacked the land of Sanfu and declared war on Li Jue. Li Jue was very annoyed, and immediately sent troops to fight Ma Teng and Han Sui fiercely, and the war in Guanzhong reignited.

Guo Peng couldn't stop laughing when he heard the words, and felt that Li Jue was quite useful, and this was a godsend opportunity, reminding himself that he could send troops.

So what else is there to say?

You can send troops.

On the tenth day of June in the fourth year of Chuping, Guo Peng officially announced in Lu County that he would march north to attack Yuan Shao.

Guo Peng ordered the army to go out, and the counties and counties immediately began to act.

At the same time, he published a provocative essay on Yuan Shao, explaining to the people of the world his determination to eradicate Yuan Shao, an unfaithful, unfilial, conspiracy and rebel.

At the same time, he also sent someone to report the matter to Yuan Shu, saying that he would deliver Yuan Shao's head to him, and help him completely wipe out Yuan Shao, the biggest scourge, and then together with Yuan Shu, they would crusade against Li Jue, welcome back Emperor Han, and reunite. Restoring peace in the world.

A certain Guo put on his armor with great ambition, prepared his most convenient weapons, and set off officially with the most heroic generals and shrewd and capable counselors.

Yuan Shao, here I come.

are you ready?

Chapter 316. 310 The End of the Fifth Gongsun Zan (revision)

It was obvious that Yuan Shao was not ready to deal with Guo Peng's attack.

His main force is still besieging Yi Jing.

During this period of time, the Youzhou Allied Army had basically wiped out Gongsun Zan's influence in Youzhou. Gongsun Zan's younger brother, Gongsun Fan, suffered repeated defeats, lost troops and generals, and returned to Yijing to join Gongsun Zan.

Gongsun Zan's field troops were completely lost, and the remaining cities also lost foreign aid, so they could only defend the city, just like Yi Jing, unable to support each other.

Some people suggested that Gongsun Zan lead the elite troops out of the city to attack the weaker Youzhou United Army, save those cities that were unwilling to surrender, and then gather the troops to counterattack.

If no decision is made, once the situation collapses, there will be no hope.

But Gongsun Zan didn't seem to have any intention of sending troops to fight.

He built Yi Jing higher and higher, the city walls thicker and deeper, and the moat deeper and deeper. He felt that by doing so, Yi Jing could be firmly defended and Yuan Shao could not attack.

Because he didn't want to hear bad news anymore, he didn't even allow adult men to approach the castle where he lived, and only allowed himself to live with the female relatives, and then trained some women with loud voices to pass orders.

Alienated the generals, alienated the guests, and alienated the soldiers. The invincible white horse general seemed to be dead and no longer existed.

Gradually, his soldiers did not know who they were fighting for and why they were fighting in such a desperate situation.

If it weren't for the fact that Gongsun Zan got a lot of food from the fields and the army had food to eat, Yi Jing would have collapsed.

Yuan Shao gathered [-] troops to storm Yijing, and then deployed another [-] troops to attack Yijing. Together with the [-] Youzhou Allied Army, he increased his troops to [-]. Not a day goes by without a war.

Gongsun Zan's soldiers were gradually exhausted, and it was extremely hopeless that they could not see the future war.

And as time went by, those cities that originally counted on Gongsun Zan to rescue them also felt hopeless, surrendered one after another, and turned their guns to attack Gongsun Zan.

Gongsun Zan had deserted his relatives, and there was no longer any hope of winning.

On the eve of Guo Peng's dispatch of troops, a mutiny broke out in Yijing. Although it was suppressed, it was enough to show that Gongsun Zan's prestige and dominance were no longer enough for the soldiers to work for him.

The soldiers did not want to continue fighting in such despair.

They can't see the future at all, and they can't see the hope of victory. On the contrary, the chance of surviving is getting slimmer and slimmer.

Can you continue to fight?

No!

They also had their own ideas one after another, and felt that they needed to find some way out for themselves, which led to such a mutiny.

Although he didn't succeed, Qu Yi, who was leading the troops at the front, already understood that Gongsun Zan was like a rabbit whose tail couldn't grow any longer.

So Qu Yi ordered to step up the pace of onslaught, which made the soldiers in the city desperate and caused more chaos. The Jizhou Army and the Youzhou Allied Army joined forces and besieged Yijing from all sides, and the city wall of Yijing was in danger.

At this time, Yuan Shao came with some reinforcements, which aggravated the despair of the soldiers in Yijing.

Earlier, Yuan Shao received advice from his subordinates, suggesting that Yuan Shao use the method of digging tunnels to attack Yijing's tall and deep city walls. Yuan Shao accepted it and ordered the front line to do the same.

After preparing for a period of time, the tunnel was dug without being discovered by Gongsun Zan.

The strategy that Guo Peng and Lu Zhi used to deal with the Yellow Turbans was used by Yuan Shao to deal with Gongsun Zan.

Ignite the fire, exit from the tunnel, wait for the stakes to be burned, and wait for the city wall to completely collapse.

Then, the outer city wall of Yijing collapsed.

Very suddenly, without any warning, it collapsed.

A big gap was exposed, and the dawn of victory was in sight.

"Rush in for me!!!"

Qu Yi personally led the troops to attack, the drums beat like crazy, and the final decisive battle began.

The messenger rushed to the fortress where Gongsun Zan was located anxiously, and spread the news of the fall of the outer city to the inside. The defenders of the fortress were all shocked and panicked.

Gongsun Zan was horrified when he learned of this soon, and asked the people around him if Guo Peng had sent reinforcements. The people around him replied that he hadn't. Gongsun Zan turned pale and scolded Guo Peng for not saving him.

Then Gongsun Zan asked before he sent his son Gongsun Xu to ask for help from Zhang Yan's troops in the Black Mountain Army, did Zhang Yan's troops come to rescue?

The people around replied that Zhang Yan seemed to have dispatched troops, but they hadn't arrived yet.

Gongsun Zan suddenly felt that everything was over. In desperation, he finally decided to leave the dock and fight his way out to survive.

As a result, when he packed everything up and took his family members to go out, he realized that it was already too late.

Surrounded by soldiers from Jizhou and Allied forces from Youzhou, the city of Yijing was in a mess. The city he had painstakingly built to suit his domineering aura was so unguardable, which made Gongsun Zan very puzzled.

If he didn't understand it, he still worked hard and led his army to fight once.

After hearing that Gongsun Zan was here, more Yuan Jun and Youzhou Allied Army rushed over to kill Gongsun Zan to gain wealth.

Even the prestigious White Horse General couldn't afford the heavy reward, and Gongsun Zan became the target of the reward.

In the end, he really couldn't get out, so Gongsun Zan could only lead his people to retreat to his central fortress, guarding the isolated fortress, and all hope was lost.

Outside the isolated castle, a large number of Jizhou soldiers and Youzhou coalition forces are attacking. Inside the isolated castle, he is alone and helpless, and there are not many soldiers around him.

The family members wept bitterly, as if they had predicted their end.

Gongsun Zan also seemed to have foreseen his own end.

But even a few months ago, he didn't think so, he didn't think that he would be defeated so quickly.

But that is the truth.

Gongsun Zan had no way out, and Yuan Shao would definitely kill him.

That being the case, Gongsun Zan could not be humiliated.

Gongsun Zan gradually calmed down, held the knife tightly in his hand, and looked at the family members behind him with murderous eyes.
