At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

Then he suddenly remembered that Lu Yi was Lu Xun, and immediately felt a little interesting, so he sent someone to reply to Gu Yong, saying that he wanted to meet Lu Yi.

At the same time, Gu Yong asked Lu Yi if he would like to settle the Lu family in Lujiang, or in Yecheng, by his side.

These two options, Guo Peng can let Lu Yi decide.

Lu Yi is a rare military talent. He defeated Liu Bei, who spent most of his life as a soldier, and set fire to the joint camp. Together with his son Lu Kang, the two generations of father and son shouldered the heavy responsibility of Wu's border defense for decades, and repeatedly defeated the attacks of Cao Wei and Sima Jin.

Wu Guoneng went from Cao Weigou to Sima Jin, and the father and son made great contributions.

But why did he change his name to Lu Xun without changing his name?

Right now, his task is to lead the army to advance to Chang'an.

Chapter 551 .560 crush you

At the end of April, Guo Peng had led the main force to Zheng County and sent troops to sweep the surrounding area.

Before, Guo Peng had always marched in two ways, and it was the same after starting from Hongnong County.

He ordered General Zhao Yun to lead an army of [-] troops from Hebei to Linjin County, Chongquan County, Lianzhao County, and Wannian County all the way.

Guo Peng himself led the main force to Zheng County, and sent vanguards Cao Chun and Zhang Ying to lead the troops forward, swept the east of Bashui, and led the army to set up a camp in Baling, east of Bashui, to deter Chang'an.

Not counting this, he ordered general Cao Ren to lead an army of [-] to attack Lantian County in the south, conquer Lantian County, enter Duling, and threaten Chang'an from the south.

Chang'an faced the enemy three times, Ma Teng, Han Sui and Zhang Ji were completely dumbfounded.

In fact, the matter did not reach this point in the first place, but if Ma Teng and Han Sui sent a few troops to resist Guo Peng's advance, and put in a little effort to resist, Guo Peng would not be able to advance so smoothly.

They seem to really think that the long-distance march can exhaust the energy of Wei Jun and Guo Peng's supplies, and they can also force deserters out by the way, forcing Guo Peng's army to reduce a large number of non-combat personnel, and then they can face a series of battles. The Wei army was sparse and exhausted.

Without even having to face it, the Wei army immediately withdrew their troops and collapsed. This battle could not be fought at all, and they won without a fight.

With such an idea, they returned to Chang'an and managed Chang'an with peace of mind, not caring about Guo Peng who was approaching.

And the result?

Guo Peng arrived in Hongnong in one month, and arrived in the east of Bashui in nearly two months, pushing the battle line directly under their noses.

The [-] army has never been weakened, and it is full of energy. Not only has its combat power not weakened, but it has also won a victory in the east of Bashui——

Cao Chun, the vanguard of the Wei army, led the attack together with Zhang He, and wiped out the [-] garrison led by Han Sui's general and son-in-law Yan Xing. Many Liangzhou soldiers were forced to flee to Bashui, where they were drowned.

Yan Xing lost his army and lost his generals. He fled with only a few dozen people and suffered a disastrous defeat.

Things developed to this point purely because Ma Teng and Han Sui didn't want to fight Guo Peng, they wanted to preserve their strength, and they wanted God to help defeat Guo Peng.

In mid-April, they got information that Guo Peng was approaching the Chang'an area, but they stubbornly believed that the bad traffic conditions would drive Guo Peng to death, and they didn't need to contribute.

But the situation was not like this. Guo Peng smoothly led an army of [-] to tens of miles east of Chang'an, staring at them, making them feel scared.

Because they believed that Guo Peng would not be able to come, they did not set up any defensive facilities east of Bashui, nor did they station many troops, so that the east of Bashui was easily occupied by Guo Peng.

It wasn't until this time that Ma Teng and Han Sui realized that they seemed to have made a mistake, so they hurriedly arranged the defense of Chang'an, intending to defend Chang'an to the death.

"Even if we come here, Guo Zifeng must be tired of the veterans of our army. We must be weak against our elite army. As long as we persist for a long time, Guo Zifeng will definitely retreat. Don't panic, everyone, stick to Chang'an, and you will be safe!"

Ma and Han sent people to spread such news in the army, so as to motivate the army to defend the city vigorously, not to compromise with Guo Peng, and not to abandon the city and flee back to Liangzhou.

But in private, Ma and Han asked the defeated Yan Xing whether the Wei army was tired and whether it was at the end of its battle.

Yan Xing shook his head again and again, and said bitterly: "It's absolutely not the case. The soldiers and horses are elite, full of energy, and the battle is extremely fierce, even surpassing our army. How can this look like soldiers and horses that can't eat? It's not like that at all!"

Ma Teng and Yan Xing, who just said this, felt very unconfident, and thought it was wrong after thinking about it. How could it be possible for Guo Peng to have such a strong logistical capability?

How much food does he have?

Ma Teng and Han Sui couldn't understand it, and Zhang Ji couldn't understand it either. Their impression of Guo Peng was only on the word "strong", and they knew very little about the rest.

They don't know how strong Guo Peng's mobilization ability is, because the times are too far away, and they don't even believe that a force can have such a strong mobilization ability.

The mobilization ability of Qin State, including the mobilization ability of Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty, is not comparable to that of Guo Peng now.

The mobilization ability of the Qin State was obtained after sweeping out the old aristocrats through Shang Yang's reform, and the mobilization ability of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was also obtained after the action of sweeping out the powerful by turning inaction into action.

Is it possible to think that you can get it without making any changes or putting in any effort?

impossible.

Although Guo Peng's mobilization ability cannot be compared with that of the Qin State and the Western Han Dynasty during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, it is more than enough for warlords like Ma Teng and Han Sui.

It's almost a dimensionality reduction blow.

Although thousands of miles away, I want to crush you too!

The only thing Guo Peng finds unpleasant is that he doesn't have enough time.

God has given him too little time, if he can save 20 years... no, even if it is only [-] years, he will not be cowardly, will not be afraid, and will not be worried that he will not be able to open up two battlefields at the same time.

It's a pity that he doesn't have enough time, and he doesn't have that much time to accumulate.

So he decided to take this bad breath out on Ma Teng and Han Sui.

First, they violently crushed the [-] Liangzhou army on the east bank of the Bashui River, and then marched westward, attacking Chang'an from three sides, and suppressed Ma Teng and Han Sui's army in the surrounding areas of Chang'an.

In this place where there are few people, the supply of the army is very problematic.

Although under Zhang Ji's suggestion, Ma Teng and Han Sui sent troops to reclaim some land around Chang'an, intending to establish military settlements, but it was obviously not the harvest season, not to mention autumn grain, and even summer grain could not be harvested, so naturally they could not support the battle.

Facing the menacing Wei Jun, Ma Teng and Han Sui were completely dumbfounded.

But don't say it, there are some people who don't believe in evil, and think that Wei Jun is nothing more than that, not invincible.

Ma Chao invited [-] troops, and with his general Pang De and his younger brothers Ma Dai, Ma Xiu, and Ma Tie, decided to lead the army out of the city to challenge Guo Peng.

Ma Teng thought it was unreliable, so he left Ma Xiu and Ma Tie behind and asked Ma Chao to take Pang De and Ma Dai out for a try.

Han Sui also considered that Ma Chao was young and lacked experience in commanding troops, so he personally acted as the coach to support Ma Chao and stabilize the army for him when necessary. Ma Teng said yes.

So Han Sui took Ma Chao, Pang De, and Ma Dai to lead the army out of the city, and collided with the army led by Guo Peng who came to attack Chang'an City, and the battle between the two armies was on the verge of breaking out.

Guo Peng brought [-] troops to attack the city. In fact, he came here to test the waters, to see the strength of the city defense and the strength of the defenders, so he did not mobilize Zhao Yun and Cao Ren's troops.

Seeing the words "horse", "Han" and "Pang" on the battle flag on the opposite side, Guo Peng guessed that there should be Han Sui and Pound among the generals of the opponent. As for the horse, there can be many horses. Ma Teng Ma Chao, Ma Dai, Ma Tie, Ma Xiu, etc., can all be counted.

I don't know which one.

But he couldn't control that much, Guo Peng raised the flags of "Wei" and "Han" one after another, showing his existence to the enemy army on the opposite side.

When Wangyuan's soldiers came back to report the situation, Han Sui was taken aback, and said to Ma Chao, "Meng Qi, Guo Zifeng may have led the troops himself."

"Guo Zifeng came in person? That's great, I'm worried that I won't be able to meet Guo Zifeng!"

Not only did Ma Chao not panic, but he was eager to try and was very happy.

It seems that Guo Peng's prestige is not enough to surprise Ma Chao, on the contrary, it can also stimulate Ma Chao's strong will to fight.

Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, and Ma Chao, who is going well, faces the veteran strongman Guo Peng, which is full of desire to challenge.

Chapter 552 .560 Yi Ma Chao is not happy

It was hard for Han Sui to say anything, he had never fought against Guo Peng, so it was hard to say that Ma Chao would definitely not be able to beat Guo Peng, although Guo Peng had a brilliant record.

But in the current situation, it's really a problem not to face it positively, so we can't just return to Liangzhou, right?

The combat power of the Liangzhou army is equally strong. Although Guo Zifeng is good at using soldiers, no one dares to say that he is invincible in every battle, so no matter what, he must fight against him and try his depth.

So Han Sui nodded and agreed to let Ma Chao be the vanguard, and fight against Wei Jun to see how deep he is.

Ma Chao nodded, led his general Pound to set up three thousand cavalry and rushed forward, wanting to challenge Guo Peng first.

Standing on a hill, Guo Peng looked into the distance and saw an army coming towards him from a distance. He realized that this was the vanguard of the opponent, coming to challenge.

So Guo Peng ordered Yan Liang, general of Wei Guodang Kou, and Gao Lan, general of Wei Guoyi's army, to lead [-] cavalry to fight against the opponent's vanguard.

Being appointed, Yan Liang and Gao Lan were overjoyed. Thinking that this was an opportunity to show themselves, they immediately mobilized [-] cavalry to go out into battle.

The vanguard army of the Wei army and Ma Chao's army confronted each other on the plain.

Ma Chao naively thought that Guo Peng would come in person, but when he found out that it was a general named Yan and Gao, he was very dissatisfied.

"Guo Zifeng came to fight uninvited, is he underestimating me? Good! Let me kill these two first, let Guo Zifeng open his eyes!"

Ma Chao immediately ordered the army to charge forward, and began to confront the cavalry of the Wei army.

The two sides still follow the old pattern, first use riding and shooting to confront each other.

Ma Chaoman thought that there were a lot of Qiang people and miscellaneous beards of various ethnic groups on horseback on his side, who were good at riding and shooting, and would be better than the cavalry of the Wei army. It turned out that the cavalry of the Wei army were much better at riding and shooting than he imagined. .

The two sides confronted each other with riding and shooting, and fought back and forth several times, regardless of the outcome.

The knights of the Wei army had better armor than the Liangzhou cavalry, so the battle damage was obviously smaller than that of the Liangzhou cavalry, but the Liangzhou cavalry fell under a shower of arrows.

Ma Chao felt that he couldn't go on like this, he couldn't continue playing riding and shooting, so he took the initiative to move forward and ordered the army to draw out their knives and pick up their spears to prepare for hand-to-hand combat.

Yan Liang and Gao Lan immediately led the team to prepare for a hand-to-hand fight.

Ma Chao thought that the bloody battle was about to begin, but when he rushed to the front, Wei Jun threw a hand ax and turned the Liangzhou cavalry on their backs.

Ma Chao, who led the team to the front, narrowly escaped the blow, and before he could yell, the cavalry of the Wei Army who charged with spears had already rushed forward.

Ma Chao forcibly swallowed all the swear words, and the Liangzhou cavalry and the Wei cavalry began to confront each other face to face.

After the confrontation, Ma Chao realized that he was still wrong. The cavalry of the Wei army were far more skilled than he had imagined, and their equipment was also superior to that of Liangzhou cavalry.

Often I can't kill people with a single knife, but the Wei Jun cavalry can directly cut off half of the Liangzhou soldier's body with a single knife.

Ma Chao felt that this style of painting was very different from what he had imagined. Although he fought desperately, slashed left and right with a long knife, and personally led his own soldiers to charge into battle, he was unstoppable, but he still couldn't stop the one-sided battle situation.

Seeing that his side was going to be unable to hold on anymore, how could Ma Chao bear it, he saw the general flag of the Wei army not far away, he was heartbroken, and called his general Pang De, and the two led the guard cavalry to charge into battle together, Take Yan Liang and Gao Lan directly.

Yan Liang and Gao Lan were fighting hard under the guard of the cavalry, when they suddenly saw two battle flags approaching, one on a horse and one on a pony, and realized that it was the vanguard of the other party, they looked at each other and nodded , pulled out the ring head long knife and charged away side by side.

Ma Chao and Pound rushed forward, and the guard cavalry had already fought against Yan Liang Gaolan's guard cavalry.

Ma Chao caught sight of Yan Liang who was wearing a fine battle armor. With his legs clamped between the horse's belly, he rushed forward, waving a long knife to take Yan Liang straight.

Yan Liang saw Ma Chao rushing towards him with red eyes, and swung his saber to meet him. The two sabers collided violently, and then there was a crisp sound, and both of them were shaken away.

"The kid has so much strength!"

Yan Liang gritted his teeth and stared at Ma Chao, feeling that Ma Chao looked childish, but turned out to be so strong.

"The old thief has great strength!"

Ma Chao looked at Yan Liang, who was almost 40 years old, and felt that Yan Liang's strength was also great, not like the strength of a guy who could be a grandfather. He gritted his teeth and continued to swing the knife. Yan Liang was not to be outdone, and swung the knife forward. The human swords collided again.

At the end of the round, the two were evenly matched. Ma Chao was impatient and rode his horse directly to fight. Yan Liang faced the difficulties and fought with Ma Chao with a knife.

On the other side, Gao Lan and Pang De also swung their knives and slashed and fought together. The two also played against each other. If you don't let me, I won't let you, and the eyeballs of the fight are red.

The battle of the generals is so fierce, and the battle of the soldiers is also quite fierce, but the battle between the soldiers is not evenly matched, but one-sided.

The well-trained and well-equipped Wei army had the upper hand and fought against Ma Chao's cavalry. Ma Chao's Qiang and Hu cavalry were killed in large numbers, and they gradually retreated.

Here, Pang De knocked Gao Lan away with a knife, looked around and found that the battle situation was not good, and he was afraid that it would be dangerous to continue the fight, so he left Gao Lan and rode his horse to attack Yan Liang. Pulling the horse back several steps before stabilizing his figure.

"General! We can't fight anymore! Our army has already retreated! If we don't retreat, it will be too late!"

Ma Chao couldn't listen to Pound's advice, shouted "Fight to the death", and continued to ride his horse to go straight to Yan Liang. Yan Liang was furious, and rushed forward with red eyes to continue fighting Ma Chao. Pound was very anxious. Just as he was about to step forward, Gao Lan rushed over with a spear in his hand and stabbed forward.

In the blink of an eye, Pound leaned forward and narrowly dodged the blow. Just as he got up, still in shock, Gao Lan swept the spear horizontally.

Pang De quickly leaned forward again, clamped his legs between the horse's belly, and rushed out for a long distance, avoiding Gao Lan's attack, then pulled out his spear and held it in his hand, and rushed back angrily , to fight Gao Lan to the death.

When the four generals were fighting, the battle finally came to an end. The iron cavalry of the Wei army defeated Ma Chao's cavalry. Ma Chao's Qiang and Hu cavalry began to retreat in a large area, and the Wei army turned to pursue.

Ma Chao and Pang De's personal guards snatched them out of Yan Liang and Gao Lan's hands desperately, and ran away with them. Yan Liang and Gao Lan were unwilling to give up. The main force withdrew and returned.

In the First World War, more than 1000 Ma Chao's cavalry were killed, more than 500 people were captured, and hundreds of horses were also obtained. Yan Liang and Gao Lan returned home victorious, and were praised by Guo Peng.

However, Ma Chao and Pound returned after a disastrous defeat, and fled back to Han Sui's main formation desperately. When Han Sui saw Ma Chao's defeat, he suddenly felt a little dizzy, because he realized that Guo Peng's army still maintained a strong will to fight. and powerful fighting power.

Han Sui was very puzzled.

It was such a long journey from Luoyang to Chang'an, and there were still so many difficulties and obstacles on the road. How did he manage to manage the feeding of tens of thousands of people and livestock?
