At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

Chapter 533 .530 San Han Sui was quite proud of his own calculations

It is a very small thing to mobilize the army to determine the personnel for the expedition, and the logistics are the big ones.

Whether this battle can do its best, whether Chang'an can be won, and the entire Sili area can be won depends on whether the logistics are stable.

The 500 accounting officials led by Wang Can were expanded to 1000 by Guo Peng, so he was nicknamed "Ji Shuai".

Guo Peng selected excellent accounting officials from all over the country to add to Wei Gongfu. A huge calculation team of 1000 people worked day and night to calculate and calculate all the specific data clearly.

The advisers at the staff desk relied on these data to conduct battle deduction, and made a detailed analysis of the problems that may be faced in the Battle of Kansai.

The so-called enemy is the tens of thousands of Liangzhou army led by Ma Teng and Han Sui. This complex army is the only enemy Guo Peng wants to attack Kansai, and it is not a powerful enemy.

Although there are Hu people joining, and the Liangzhou army is good at fighting with spears, Guo Peng's army is better at fighting with spears, and is better at fighting with army formations.

When it comes to military battles, Guo Peng is not afraid of anyone.

Liangzhou people have always been famous for their bravery, but Guo Peng would not be worried about a mere brave army.

And compared to himself, Guo Peng believed that the Liangzhou army lacked more logistics, and was even more unable to fight against him in logistics. Once it failed, it would be defeated like a mountain, and it could not stop the trend of defeat.

Different from setting up multiple logistics bases, if you really lose the battle, then retreat to the second base to defend, so as to resist steadily, contain the decline, and gradually turn the tide of the battle.

The Liangzhou army only had one chance to decide the outcome. If they failed, they had no choice but to retreat to the Liangzhou base camp.

As far as I am concerned, it would be great if I could swallow Liangzhou in one go, but the difficulty seems to be very high.

The problems in Liangzhou are much more complicated than those in Kansai.

Warlords such as Ma Teng and Han Sui, the powerful Han people, the Han people, the powerful and handsome Qianghu tribe, etc. The situation is very complicated, so the Eastern Han government wanted to move all the Han people in Liangzhou away, so they simply abandoned Liangzhou. .

Guo Peng is firmly opposed to such a stupid approach, but as far as the moment is concerned, Guo Peng is really beyond his reach.

Guo Peng felt that his conquest of Kansai was to drive away the Liangzhou people, and then kill some remaining bandits and the like to free up a clean land, and then the people might have to be relocated.

In exchange for more land, some people who want to get more land will live and produce in Luoyang and Chang'an. Using administrative means or recruitment means, the destroyed Kansai area will be slowly restored.

Before the Dong Zhuo Rebellion, the population of the Kansai area was estimated to be close to tens of millions. Now it is plagued by plagues, massacres, and large-scale immigration fleeing. I don’t know if there are millions of people. The bulk may be counted in Liangzhou .

This is mainly land, unowned wasteland, Guo Peng's favorite wasteland.

From a military point of view, once the land of Kansai is occupied, the entire north of the Han Dynasty will basically be controlled by Guo Peng. No matter how invincible the north is, the problem will appear in the south.

Yizhou, Jingzhou, Yangzhou.

But facing them by myself is like looking down, like looking down on them.

Whether it is attacking Yizhou, Jingzhou or Yangzhou, it will be a situation in which it has absolute initiative, and several princes in the south will fall into an absolute passive situation.

After unifying the entire Central Plains and Hebei, and clearing away the obstacles, the next goal is naturally to unify the North.

Once a truly unified northern regime emerges, the south is doomed to fail.

When Guo Peng led an army of [-] to march westward aggressively, Ma Teng, Han Sui, and Zhang Ji were completely unprepared for a confrontation with Guo Peng.

After receiving the news that Guo Peng sent troops to the west and defined Ma and Han as rebels, Ma Chao's headquarters in the Luoyang area immediately passed the news to Ma Han, who was gathering refugees in the Hongnong area and preparing to take them back to Chang'an. two people.

After a period of discussion, Ma Teng and Han Sui decided to abandon the Luoyang and Hongnong areas that could not be used in a short time, and return to the vicinity of Chang'an.

Taking Chang'an as a new stronghold, slowly accumulating strength, and then discussing whether to continue eastward.

There is a powerful Guo Peng in Kanto. This is an existence they can't afford to provoke, so they don't provoke it. They also need to isolate Luoyang and the vicinity of Hongnong as a buffer area, and don't contact Guo Peng, lest they become Guo Peng's subordinates. A strike target.

After gaining a deep understanding of Guo Peng's strength from Zhang Ji, Ma Teng and Han Sui felt that it would be extremely uncomfortable to be enemies with Guo Peng.

They understood what Zhang Ji said, don't worry about whether to go east, but worry about whether Guo Peng will go west.

Now that Zhang Ji's crow's mouth has appeared, the goddamn Guo Peng has really come, and he has no sympathy at all.

He didn't talk to Ma Teng and Han Sui at all about recruiting security in the past, and he didn't have any contacts at all.

It is directly the traitor, crusade, kill, revenge for the emperor, one-stop service.

Li Jue and Guo Si were the ones who killed the Son of Heaven, okay?And they are dead!

What does it have to do with us?

This clearly meant that there was nothing wrong with wanting to commit a crime. Guo Zifeng's goal was simply to expand his territory and expand his power!

After hearing the news, Ma Teng and Han Sui suddenly felt that they had been the worst luck for eight lifetimes.

I just wanted to take advantage of it, but it ended up like this!

Guo Peng's army of 30 marched westward, claiming to be [-]. Such a large momentum made Ma Teng and Han Sui shudder.

Together with Zhang Ji's army, they only have a total of just over [-] troops. If they want to gather [-] troops, they must get the support of Qianghu from the entire Liangzhou.

But this is not realistic.

An army is an army, and logistics is logistics. Unless wars are used to support wars, Liangzhou will never be able to support the logistics of [-] troops.

After discussing with Han Sui, Ma Teng and Han Sui quickly ordered Ma Chao to be called back from Luoyang, and then they all retreated towards Chang'an with as many people as they could find.

As far as Ma Teng and Han Sui discussed, it would be good for them to give up resistance on this section of the road and give up both Luoyang and Hongnong to Guo Peng.

After the initial panic, Ma Teng and Han Sui thought together that Guo Peng was messing around.

"He claims to be 30, but I guess it's just over [-], but even if it's [-], the amount of rations consumed is unimaginable. It's nearly [-] miles from Luoyang to Chang'an. Guo Zifeng probably hasn't arrived in Chang'an yet. Just run out of food, by then, he won't retreat?"

Han Sui was quite proud of his own calculations.

"Marching for eight hundred miles, with an army of [-], even if Guo Zifeng conscripted all the grain from Qingzhou and Xuzhou, including the food and drink of his food transport team, if he wanted to go to Chang'an, he might starve to death. It will be greatly reduced, and we will sit back and enjoy the benefits.”

Ma Teng is also quite proud.

"Guo Zifeng has not been defeated for more than ten years. This time, let him suffer a little bit and let him know that although he has occupied Hebei and the Central Plains, the land of Kansai is not something he can eat in one go. Wei Gong, If the Great General of Cheqi is defeated by us, it will be an anecdote in the world."

Han Sui laughed loudly and said: "Let's stay away first, let him give him what he wants, and then set up more traps along the way, dig more deep ditches, and set up more roadblocks, just waiting for his exhausted army to attack Chang'an Bar!"

"Hahahahaha!"

Ma Teng and Han Sui smiled at each other, very happy.

Zhang Ji also echoed and laughed, although he felt a little aggrieved.

But this time, he felt that Guo Peng might really capsize in the gutter.

Chapter 534 .530 The decisive battle of four fates

Creating no man's land and dragging down the enemy's logistics is a very effective tactic.

Once it is used, even if it is as strong as Guo Peng, it may be difficult to deal with it.

In all fairness, this tactic is really effective, and whenever there is no revolutionary change in the mode of transportation, then this tactic is always effective.

Destroy the enemy's logistics, make it defeated without a fight, minimize losses and maximize profits.

Throughout the ages, ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, there are not many celebrities who have been defeated by this hand.

Of course, to use this tactic, sufficient strategic depth is required.

Small countries with few people who have no strategic depth should not talk about this move. Small countries with few people are just waiting to be destroyed by a big country, and you have not discussed it.

Ma Teng and Han Sui are not stupid, of course they understand this.

Wouldn't it be nice to spend some unusable wasteland to wear down Guo Peng's logistics and make his march a joke?

When Guo Peng's army is exhausted and lacks food and clothing, they can even launch a counterattack, defeat Guo Peng's main force in one fell swoop, and win brilliant victories.

In this way, maybe there will be many interesting things happening in the world.

The initial panic disappeared without a trace, and Guo Peng seemed to be walking a dead end in their eyes.

After Ma Chao received the order from Ma Teng and Han Sui, although he wanted to fight Guo Peng, he obeyed the order and led his army to leave Luoyang. Guo Peng, by the way, dumped him with dust on his face.

It looks very chic and stylish.

Therefore, when Guo Peng led his army forward, he basically encountered no enemies.

So Guo Peng simply broke up the troops into pieces, scattered the attacks, took down various uninhabited counties and villages, drew maps, and stopped and walked.

While leaving time for digestion, give the troops transporting food some time, let them keep moving forward, and keep building places to store food, and then facilitate the army's advancement.

Before the war, the staff desk had anticipated the tactics that Ma Teng and Han Sui might use.

All the counselors believe that this tactic is very deterrent. Of course, Guo Peng also admits that such a thing will bring him a lot of trouble, so it is suggested that Guo Peng simply set Hongnong as the goal of this war, not to set to Chang'an.

This battle can be done slowly, first digest Luoyang and Hongnong, build a logistics base camp, and then continue to advance, fight and stop, and slowly eat away, this will be the greatest deterrent to the Liangzhou army.

Guo Peng vetoed this proposal and insisted on targeting Chang'an.

The reason is that the strength that has been accumulated for so many years is not used to hide, but to be used. He wants to let the world see the confidence and strength that Guo has accumulated for several years.

All those who have contempt and misunderstand Guo must open their eyes to see what kind of strength Guo possesses.

The matter has come to this point, there is no need to hide it, it should be fully displayed to deter the world!

Lay a solid foundation for the next step.

Ma Teng, Han Sui, and Zhang Ji are the objects he used to express his will to the world.

There is no doubt that they will die. After they die, people in the world will know what kind of determination and will they have, as well as what kind of strength they have!

Gradually, Mr. Guo no longer concealed his ambition, gradually stopped hiding it, and stopped developing obscenely.

Speak up when you should speak up, be decisive when you should be decisive, and let the enemy know what is the real strong.

Only the strong will make people yearn for and shake the enemy from within!

Guo Peng ordered all states and counties to operate at full capacity, and the accumulated strong mobilization force pushed the army forward.

On the sixth day of February, Luoyang was occupied, on the eleventh day of February, Xin'an was occupied, at the end of February, the vanguard Cao Chun's troops arrived in Hongnong, and on the eighth day of March, Guo Peng arrived in Hongnong himself.

It seemed that Ma Teng and Han Sui didn't even intend to waste a single soldier on unnecessary disputes, and directly handed over control of the vast area from Luoyang to Hongnong to Guo Peng.

The [-] troops advanced layer by layer, taking down and marking all counties, villages, towns, and small settlements.

The accompanying officials immediately started counting and sent the data back to the rear. Wei Guoshangshutai in the rear was responsible for the unified command, and dispatched grassroots officials and construction teams to the local area to start restoration and reconstruction.

This powerful mobilization force was immediately revealed. In addition to retaining the necessary agricultural labor to ensure that the spring plowing was not disordered, a large number of grassroots officials and peasants were anxiously running on the road.

Come and go, in an endless stream.

Carts, livestock, food, building materials.

Occupy, rebuild, relocate people to cultivate wasteland, and then it is time to harvest.

The necessary upfront investment is essential, so that this once-rich land will also become rich in the future, and become the most solid foundation of Guo Peng and the most solid foundation of Wei State.

These investments are not a pity at all, and only Guo Peng can afford them.

When Guo Peng announced that he would mobilize taxes and materials from various states to rebuild Kansai, there were many objections in Shangshutai.

Many officials think that Kansai is dilapidated, and it is inappropriate to spend materials to rebuild Kansai at this time, but Guo Peng doesn't think so.

He has already decided that after the pacification of Kansai, he will turn Luoyang into his second stronghold, so that Luoyang will be rejuvenated, so as to drive the reconstruction of Kansai.

The states are taxed and food is plentiful, but this does not mean that there are no problems there.

There is food, money, and supplies, so what if they exist there? Except for emergency savings, most of them should be used for development and construction to obtain more income. The economy should be revitalized instead of sticking to the warehouse until the string of The money ropes are rotten.

Less currency in circulation in the market will cause deflation, which is not conducive to economic development.

Rebuilding Kansai is a grand strategy, a painful grand strategy, for which the people of Kansai paid a heavy price.

When Guo Peng saw the scorched Hongnong City, he took a deep breath and stopped.

He ordered an altar to be set up here, and led civil and military sacrifices to the dead emperor Liu Xie and those who died.

He knew that this mutiny was caused under his leadership, and the people in this city died because of his own desire and determination.

It was my own conspiracy and secret instigation that caused the emperor, generals, officials, scholars, tyrants, and Li Shu in this city to perish together.

Indiscriminate blows have created such a miserable scene.

Mr. Guo has long been an executioner full of lives, and a sinner full of crimes.
