At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

The reason for this crusade is very simple. Guo Peng has no problem accusing them of any crimes he wants.

Any old accounts can be dug out, or any reason can be tossed around, anyway, he just wants to get rid of the Southern Huns.

For this reason, Guo Peng sent people to contact Nanlou and ordered Nanlou to send [-] troops to assist him in attacking the Southern Huns.

He ordered Nanlou to lead the army to join him in Taiyuan County, and the army would march from Taiyuan County to attack Shan Yuting of the Southern Huns in Meiji.

In Bingzhou right now, Guo Peng only occupies four counties, which are Xihe County where Zhang Yan is the prefect, Shangdang County where Lu Qian is the prefect, and Taiyuan County where Guo Peng’s son Guo Yi is the prefect. After the three counties were consolidated, Guo Peng ordered Zhang Yan to lead the army to enter the upper county.

Shangjun is also a typical border county with a large area and few people. After the occupation, Guo Peng used Guo Fan, a son of his own family, as the prefect. At that time, Yingyang Zhonglang took the current Yingyang General Cao Xing as the garrison, and moved [-] refugees from the mountains to enrich the population of Shangjun. , reclaim wasteland and rebuild.

In addition, the five counties of Yanmen County, Dingxiang County, Yunzhong County, Wuyuan County and Shuofang County were not under the control of Guo Peng, but under the influence of the Southern Xiongnu.

The population of the Southern Xiongnu far exceeds the Han Chinese living there, if there are still Han Chinese living there.

Their encroachment on Bianjun can be seen.

Faced with this situation, Guo Peng realized that he could not continue to indulge this group of people to continue to develop their power in Bingzhou, otherwise sooner or later the entire Bingzhou would be controlled by the Southern Huns, so he decisively decided to kill him.

Guo Peng ordered Shangdang County of Xihe County to transport the accumulated military rations to Taiyuan County, and ordered the military rations stored in Jizhou to be transported to Taiyuan County.

At the same time, Nanlou received an order from Guo Peng. Guo Peng ordered Nanlou to lead [-] cavalry to join him in Taiyuan County to attack the disobedient Southern Huns.

Nanlou didn't dare to slack off, and immediately mobilized his people to rectify [-] cavalry, led by him personally, and marched towards Taiyuan County.

Although Nanlou is not young anymore, it is about Guo Peng, he has to fight in person, because this time it is also Guo Peng himself.

Guo Peng will lead an army of [-] troops to crusade against the Southern Huns in the capacity of Wei Gong and the general of the Han chariot.

This time, he formed a lineup of [-] infantry and [-] cavalry. When Nanlou's army arrived, there would be [-] infantry and [-] cavalry. The lineup was strong.

"I'm going to fight, and the rest of the government affairs will be handed over to Zhongde. Zhongde will manage the rear for me. If you have any questions, please ask me again."

"Yes."

Cheng Yu nodded, and sent Guo Peng off with the remaining subordinates respectfully.

None of them doubted that this was yet another victory.

Victory can bring something that losers will never experience.

They tried their best to raise logistics for Guo Peng, looking forward to the news of victory.

Guo Peng is bound to win the five counties in the north of Bingzhou.

For this expedition, Guo Peng took Guo Jia and Xun You as the masterminds, and brought along the newly appointed generals of the four directions of Wei, Cao Ren, Xia Houyuan, Zhao Yun, and Le Jin. Look at Zhu Ling et al.

Xu Huang, the brave general who saved his life at the beginning, still showed his role in the war. He made contributions in the war against Yuan Shu and was promoted to the rank of captain.

This time, Guo Peng asked to bring Xu Huang by his side, which made Xu Huang feel flattered.

Being led by Guo Peng along with a large group of generals, Xu Huang always felt that all this was not real.

Seeing the strange eyes of the generals, Xu Huang felt a little scared again.

He didn't know why Guo Peng took him seriously.

"Why do you look so out of your mind?"

Guo Peng rode on the horse, turned his head to look at Xu Huang with empty eyes, and asked with a smile.

"No...no, no, none of the subordinates lost their minds."

Xu Huang quickly denied it.

"I'm giving you a chance, Gongming, you have to make good use of this opportunity. Not everyone has this kind of opportunity."

Guo Peng reminded Xu Huang with a smile, and Xu Huang immediately stated that he would never have any problems.

"You have cooperated with the people of the Southern Huns and fought together. What are their characteristics?"

Guo Peng asked.

"Characteristics... fierce, brave, murderous, superb riding skills, especially good at riding and shooting, other... nothing else, Wei Gong's men and horses are well trained, not inferior to the Southern Huns cavalry, and also have Karasuma With cavalry helping each other, the Huns will not be the Duke of Wei's opponent."

Xu Huang recalled a little about his past life.

"Of course they are not my opponents, but my enemies are not only the Huns."

Guo Peng smiled: "Gongming, I have many enemies, you have to grow up quickly, let me see your achievements, and then go and wipe out more enemies for me."

Is this promising me a future?

Xu Huang was overjoyed and looked at Guo Peng with joy.

In mid-September, Guo Peng led his army to Taiyuan County. Zang Hong, the governor of Bingzhou appointed by Guo Peng, took Guo Yi, the governor of Taiyuan, and Guo Dong, the guard of Taiyuan, out of the city to meet him. Afterwards, Guo Peng entered the city and ordered the army to station Guo Yi and Guo Dong to prepare barracks.

"Nanlou's troops will arrive in Taiyuan in three days. Now our army is ready to attack, the route of march has been found out, and the Shan Yuting of the Southern Xiongnu seems to have got some news."

"Did the news come from us?"

Guo Peng looked at Zang Hong.

Zang Hong shook his head.

"According to insiders, it was reported from Nanlou's headquarters. These barbarians don't know what secrecy is. Once they act, the scale and movement will be huge. They have the habit of dispatching each other carefully. Each other's actions can be known to each other. They keep it secret, so don’t even think about it.”

"It doesn't matter, so what if you know? Can they still defy me?"

Guo Peng said: "The Southern Xiongnu tribe has more than [-] people, and at most [-] soldiers, even counting the Karasuma people and other miscellaneous people in the five counties who don't listen to Nanlou's orders, he can't make up [-]. troops."

This is true, so Zang Hong is not worried that his group of people cannot give the Southern Huns a good look.

"Since we changed the former old king of the Southern Huns to be Guiyi Shanyu, the Southern Huns have almost been integrated. The part that belonged to Fuluo was annexed and disintegrated by Guiyi Shanyu. Now he can completely control the entire Southern Huns. of the Huns."

"Best."

Guo Peng nodded: "I really hope that they will directly overwhelm all their troops and have a decisive battle. The victory will be determined in one battle, so as to save them from running around, and we will chase everywhere. The casualties of the pursuit may be greater than the casualties of the frontal battle." .”

Everyone agreed with Guo Peng's point of view and felt that what Guo Peng said was right.

Now that autumn is coming, the weather has not yet turned cold, and it is cool time. Guo Peng plans to end the resistance of the Southern Huns within a month, enter the final stage, and integrate the entire Bingzhou within this year.

Next year, there are other things to do.

Chapter 487. 480 Seven Where did I offend Guo Peng?

Three days later, on September [-]th, Nanlou led his [-] cavalry to Jinyang County, Taiyuan County, and joined forces with Guo Peng.

Guo Peng personally greeted him as the Duke of Wei, Nanlou was overjoyed, dismounted from his horse after a long distance, trotted over, greeted Guo Peng, and expressed his loyalty to his master.

Without Guo Peng's support and help, he obviously would not be able to defeat the other leaders of Karasuma and become the Karasuma Chanyu. Now that all the enemies have been killed by him, he is the only Karasuma Chanyu. For Guo Peng He is grateful for the help.

Of course, Guo Peng's military strength must be strong, so he is more "grateful".

Guo Peng held Nanlou's hand, chatted with him, poured wine for him himself, and held a banquet for him. After some celebration, he talked about marching.

On September 21, the whole army of the Wei army set off to march towards Meiji County, where Shanyuting of the Southern Xiongnu was located.

Guo Peng took Zhao Yun and Cao Xiu as the vanguard, and the two led [-] Hu and Han cavalry as the forerunner of the army, and went straight to Meiji County.

For this expedition, Guo Peng dispatched [-] strong men from the three counties of Xihe, Taiyuan, and Shangdang to deliver food and grass for the army and guarantee logistics.

Because it is expected that the Southern Huns may adopt the method of defending the city and resisting steadily after losing the field battle, using the city built by the Han to fight a protracted war with Guo Peng, so the logistics issue cannot be sloppy.

It is very difficult to fight a battle on your own land. The military facilities built many years ago to resist the nomadic cavalry were used in turn to block the advance of the Han people. I don’t know how to satirize those fools who have no brains. good.

The army marched forward all the way, the morale was like a rainbow, and it was unstoppable.

On the Southern Xiongnu side, they took advantage of the loopholes to make Shanyu's Guiyi, and Shanyu was very frightened.

When he first heard the news about the change in Karasuma, he thought it was because Nanlou wanted to ask him for an explanation because of some unpleasant trade incidents he had had with him before, but the more the news came later, the more he heard about it. It's a thriller.

Guo Peng has arrived in Taiyuan, and there is still a large army dispatched. It seems that it will definitely not be as simple as just hunting.

Do I need to bring so many troops for hunting?

Well there is only one reason.

To fight.

Who is the target?

Yourself.

Where did I offend Guo Peng?

The Southern Huns did not dare to offend this prestigious fierce man. It was not the Southern Huns who offended him before, but the people led by Yu Fuluo, and they were all dead. Yu Fuluo He was also executed by Guo Peng to kill all his relatives.

In order to cooperate with Guo Peng, Guiyi Shanyu also launched a purge, and wiped out all of Yu Fuluo's relatives, which can be regarded as an explanation to Guo Peng.

I thought everyone could continue to live in peace, but Guo Peng actually led the army to attack.

And until Guo Peng marched into Meiji County, he didn't know why Guo Peng came to attack him.

Does the promised master Wang need an upright reason to march into the crusade?

The reason?

Guiyi Shanyu didn't know the reason, he only knew that Guo Peng really led the Wei army to attack him, and he needed to resist and survive.

If you hit me, I will fight back!

Guo Peng didn't even declare war on him, he had already decided to attack him. He called all his subordinates to announce the news, and then announced that he would resist and fight to the end, which would definitely not make Guo Peng feel better.

For this reason, he immediately sent people to contact the Xianbei people near the border between Yunzhong County and Yanmen County, trying to join forces with the Xianbei people to resist Guo Peng and defend their "land".

After Tan Shihuai died, He Lian was killed by Guo Peng, and Xianbei ushered in a period of great division. The leaders of all major tribes had their own thoughts, and they continued to conquer each other and occupied territories everywhere.

To the north of Bingzhou is a hodgepodge of ethnic groups. Karasuma people, Xianbei people, Huns and all kinds of miscellaneous people live together, causing chaos.

After losing the effective management and protection of the Han government, Yunzhong and other counties were basically occupied by these tribes, dividing spheres of influence among each other, and some simply lived together without distinction between you and me.

In the areas near the border between Yunzhong County and Yanmen County, Budugen's tribe of Xianbei people lived, with a population of more than [-], and their influence was not small.

The relationship between the Southern Huns and these Xianbei people was sometimes cooperative and sometimes hostile.

Sometimes it helps the Han government deal with the Xianbei people, and sometimes it helps the Xianbei people plunder the border.

After the weakening of the Han government, the Southern Huns let themselves go and followed the Xianbei people to plunder the border several times. Until Guo Peng served as the captain of Huwuwan, defeated the Xianbei and integrated the Karasuma people, and established a strong power, the Southern Huns did not stop. Dare to make mistakes.

During Guo Peng’s journey to the south, the Southern Huns continued to expand their sphere of influence, gradually expanding their power southward along the Yellow River Basin, and soon occupied more than half of Bingzhou. In Yuan Shao’s era, the Southern Huns were regarded by Yuan Shao as the helpers he must win .

However, the situation changed suddenly, and Guo Peng led his army to destroy Yuan Shao, became the master of the three states of Hebei in name, and sent people to Shangdang.

Later, the war provoked by Jia Xu wiped out the forces of the Southern Huns going south, took this opportunity to eliminate the Baibo Yellow Turban Army, brought the four southern counties of Bingzhou back into the government's jurisdiction, and curbed the momentum of the Southern Huns going south.

Guiyi Shanyu was frightened by Guo Peng's power and did not dare to be hostile to him, so he could only restrain his subordinates. The Xianbei people saw that Guo Peng's wings had grown, and of course they dared not offend Guo Peng rashly in a split state, for fear of being attacked. hit.

During this period, the northern border was relatively stable, and Guo Peng did not stimulate them too much, but only created a buffer zone through the Karasuma people without direct contact.

But this time, the situation was different. Guo Peng finished integrating the internal forces, made Wei Gong, wiped out the internal threatening forces, and at the same time his prestige rose unprecedentedly, he sent troops to the Northern Expedition to attack the Southern Huns with such power.

Although the reason is not clear, the fact is that the Southern Huns rose up to resist and even pulled the Xianbei people to help.

Guiyi Shanyu also knew that Guo Peng's army was strong in combat, and he alone was probably not Guo Peng's opponent.

But what Guiyi Shanyu didn't expect was that before Budugen received Guiyi Shanyu's request for help, he received a letter from Zang Hong, the governor of Bingzhou.

Zang Hong wrote to Budugen, telling Budugen not to make trouble with Guiyi Shanyu. The Southern Huns committed a serious crime. Wei Gong Guo Peng has decided to destroy the Southern Huns, and it is inevitable.

If the Xianbei people don't want to get burned, and if they don't want to be taken away by Guo Pengshun, they should be honest and don't move around.

Guiyi Shanyu promised to exchange the scope of activities of Yanmen County and Yunzhong County in exchange for Budugen's military assistance to help him repel Guo Peng.

Although he lived outside the Great Wall, Bu Dugen knew more or less what happened in the Central Plains through commercial trade.

Guo Peng is already the owner of this large piece of land, and he has become the strongest person.

In the eyes of the Xianbei people, the strongest man is worth respecting and following, even though he has killed many Xianbei people, and even killed the king of the Xianbei people, Helian.

But no matter what, that is the past tense, people have to look forward.

This is especially true for the Xianbei people who are in the midst of division. No one knows better than this group of people what it means to be strong.

Budugen understood what this obvious threat meant, and he knew better what this threat would bring him, so after receiving the Southern Huns' request for help, he made a decisive decision.

Just act like this never happened.

He would not care about what happened to the Southern Huns, he only knew that he must not be an enemy of Guo Peng.
