At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

It seems to be the elder brother of Empress Liu Bei, a relative of the Shu Han, but he is low-key, does not seize power, has a good reputation, and is quite capable.

He occupied Mianyang County, and sent generals Gao Pei and Wu Ban to lead a team to control Tiandang Mountain and Dingjun Mountain respectively, and control both sides of Mian River.

This made it impossible for Guo Peng to break through Mianyang County and enter Yangping Pass without taking these two mountains. The defense was in place, leaving a bridgehead for the Shu army.

It seems that there is indeed an intention to counterattack Hanzhong.

Knowing that I am coming, are you not afraid?

Guo Peng was a little strange.

His reputation is so good that everyone will tremble three times when he hears it. Wu Yi is not a top military commander. Where does he have the confidence to not deal with him?

Or is it that his reputation is not in place and the Shu people don't know?

Guo Peng didn't want to understand, but then he suddenly remembered that when Pang Xi introduced the strategy, he talked about the use of Wei Jun's battle flag and Guo's big flag to fake tiger's power, and he understood immediately.

This is simply wolf.

Now Wu Yi doesn't believe that Wei Jun is really here, and thinks that Pang Xi is playing tricks on the tiger.

Good guy, Pang Xi is the kind who wants to screw Wu Yi to death until his grandma doesn't even know him.

Guo Peng led Wei Jun, who had fully recovered his combat effectiveness, slowly approached Wu Yi's defense line, raised all his flags, and then began to assign tasks.

Guo Peng ordered Gao Lan to besiege Dingjun Mountain with [-] troops, Yan Liang to besiege Tiandang Mountain with [-] troops, and Zhu Ling to attack Mianyang County with [-] troops.

You play joint defense, and I can break through each of them, so that you have no time to defend.

The only regret Guo Peng felt was that the trebuchet could not be brought here.

Otherwise, if the trebuchet is brought, the difficulty of conquering these military strongholds will be reduced by one level, and there will be no need to attack like now, which is not very pleasant.

However, Guo Peng got Fazheng, and Fazheng showed his military talent in front of Guo Peng.

Relying on his own understanding of the terrain in this area, Fazheng offered advice to Guo Peng, instructing the Wei army on how to attack the weakness of the Shu army's defense more conveniently and quickly, so as to break through the Shu army's defense line as soon as possible.

There is no doubt that the Shu army, who still does not believe that they are facing the real Wei army, does not have much resistance to the sharp attack of the Wei army.

Leaving aside the offensive and defensive battles in Mianyang County, in the two military operations at Dingjun Mountain and Tiandang Mountain, the Shu army had an absolute advantage in terrain, and there were many rolling logs and stones, but they still could not stop the Wei army from advancing. Yang Gong.

Wei Jun was at a disadvantage in terrain and had to attack upwards. Even so, Gao Pei and Wu Ban still felt great pressure.

Chapter 618 .620 Seven Guo Pengquan According to Hanzhong

Both Gao Pei and Wu Ban said they had never seen Wei Jun's sharp attack and bravery in battle.

The defense lines set up by the Shu army on the mountain fell one by one and were broken through. The Wei army rushed up screaming, arrows rained down, and the Shu army ran away with their heads in their hands.

They didn't understand when Pang Xi's "Dongzhou soldiers" on the opposite side became so powerful. Wu Ban and Gao Pei were a little dazed.

In fact, the heavy equipment used by the Wei army is the standard equipment of the Shu army, just like the Dongzhou soldiers who rebelled. There is nothing wrong with it, but it has strong attack and combat power.

It was okay when the Shu army was condescending and suppressing, shooting arrows, using spears, and still looking good. Once the Wei army rushed up with a big shield, the defense line would be quickly torn apart, and the Shu army would be beaten. He didn't dare to fight Wei Jun in close quarters.

On March [-]th of the sixth year of Xingping, the fierce general Yan Liang led his army to conquer Tiandang Mountain and defeated Gao Pei, the defender of the Shu army on Tiandang Mountain.

Gao Pei fled in embarrassment under the protection of his own soldiers, and the defense line of Tiandang Mountain fell. Yan Liang immediately led his army to attack and pursued him, crossed Tiandang Mountain and followed the Mian River to take Yangping Pass, without any hesitation, he was still in Mianyang County With the Shu army in Dingjunshan.

The Shu army's morale was shaken, and the soldiers had no fighting spirit. They were afraid that their retreat at Yangping Pass would be cut off, and they would be wiped out by the Wei army in the Hanzhong Basin.

So later on the same day, Wu Yi painfully made the decision to abandon Mianyang County, led his troops back to Yangping Pass to assist in the defense, and ordered Wu Ban not to abandon Dingjun Mountain no matter what. The Shu army retained its advantage and continued to threaten the advance of the Wei army.

Wu Ban went into battle in person, led his own soldiers into the front line, and fought bloody battles with the Wei army, until he became a bloody man, but he still couldn't stop the advance of the Wei army.

On the second day of April, Dingjunshan fell, and Wu Ban lost his troops and had no choice but to retreat in a disastrous defeat and push to Yangping Pass.

So the Shu army only left Yangpingguan City, the gateway to Hanzhong. Apart from that, there was no longer a stronghold in the Hanzhong Basin. Restoring Hanzhong seemed to be empty talk.

Wu Yi still didn't give up and wanted to fight again, but on the fourth day of April, Guo Peng personally arrived at the front line of Yangping Pass. Seeing the tense and tight defense of Yangping Pass, he sent someone to speak out.

Guo Peng felt that it was necessary for him to show his sense of existence at this time, otherwise he would really make others feel that he did not exist.

Guo has never fought such a mindless battle.

So a group of more than a dozen soldiers with very loud voices came forward and shouted, saying that Wei Gong Guo Zifeng greeted General Wu Ziyuan, the guard of Yangping Gate, and wanted to talk to General Wu Ziyuan, and asked General Wu to show up and answer.

As soon as these words were uttered, the defenders of Yangping Pass immediately became restless.

What the hell?

Wei Gong Guo Zifeng?

Wasn't the leader of the army the traitor Pang Xi?Where did Guo Zifeng come from?

Wu Yi and the others looked at each other after learning about it, and went to the top of the city to observe the situation.

Wu Yi asked the soldier with a loud voice to answer, saying that Pang Xi should stop pretending to be a tiger, and that Duke Wei and Guo Peng are far away in Chang'an, so where did they come to Hanzhong?

Guo Peng felt that their eyes seemed not good, so he waved his hand, and immediately pushed the banners of him and his subordinates forward, so that the people who closed the door in Yangping could see.

The Han chariot rides the general Wei Gongguo.

Wei Zuo General Zhao.

Wei Anbei General Zhang.

Wei Dangkou General Yan.

General Wei Jianwei Gao.

General Zhu of Wei Zhenglu.

Several big flags were pushed to the front, that style, that standard, it didn't look like a temporary rush at all.

Then, in the field of vision of the guards at Yangping Pass, a general in gorgeous battle armor slowly moved forward like stars holding the moon, and came to the forefront of the army formation, making his debut. To show your presence.

Then, the man drew out his saber and pointed at the sky.

All of a sudden, the war drums rumbled, and all the soldiers of the Wei army shouted the battle horn of the Wei army loudly, soaring into the sky with momentum.

Wu Yi's face suddenly turned pale.

Both Gao Pei and Wu Ban were frightened.

Are you kidding me?

Really Wei Jun?

Even Guo Peng is here?

really?

They all feel a little broken.

When did Wei Jun come?how come?How did you get in touch?

They don't know anything about it.

But until now, Wu Yi finally understood.

Why did I lose so badly in the previous two battles, and was pushed back to Yangping Pass so quickly by a wave of flat pushes.

They had already attacked Nanzheng City from all directions, but suddenly they lost.

Isn't this normal?

This is clearly abnormal.

But it just happened, and it was clear that outside forces were involved.

Wei Jun.

Guo Peng!

Wu Yi still didn't know how Wei Jun got here, but it should have something to do with Pang Xi.

In order to survive, Pang Xi...

Dedicate Hanzhong to Guo Peng? !

Wu Yi thought it through, and thought it through.

Liu Zhang, this is stealing the chicken but losing the rice, losing his wife and losing his army.

It really attracted the most fearful people.

Hanzhong is over.

At this moment, all Wu Yi's thoughts of counterattacking Hanzhong disappeared.

Hanzhong is really over.

There was no movement at Yangping Pass, and it seemed that there was no plan to surrender, so Guo Peng gave an order, and the Wei army began to attack the city.

Against the rain of arrows and the rolling logs and rocks, the soldiers of the Wei army charged forward recklessly, and the general's distraught Shu army was pushed to the brink of collapse.

Knowing that the opponent is Guo Peng, and not knowing that the opponent is Guo Peng, the Shu army presents two fighting faces.

On the sixth day of April, Yangping Pass was breached, and Wu Yi, the general of Shu, fled in embarrassment with his army.

Some of the 5000 remnants died in battle, and some were captured. Only [-] of them fled back to Shu with Wu Yi, returned to Baishuiguan, and barely survived.

Guo Peng did not order the army to pursue it, but announced that he would stop marching after taking Yangping Pass, and then led his army back to Nanzheng. Take it and occupy the whole territory of Hanzhong.

In mid-April, the whole territory of Hanzhong was stable, and Guo Peng officially occupied Hanzhong and took Hanzhong into his own.

This Western Expedition, which took as long as a year, was considered a complete success. Not only was it a complete success, but it also overfulfilled an additional task-Hanzhong.

Take Hanzhong, cross the Qinling defense line directly, and throw your ruling power into Shuzhong. The people of Shuzhong will no longer be able to ignore their own existence and think that they are absolutely safe.

Guo Peng decided to set up a considerable part of the army in Hanzhong, and also to carry out large-scale farming operations in Hanzhong, and to overhaul the Shu Road, making Hanzhong a forward base like Lujiang and Jiujiang, laying the foundation for future advances in Shuzhong.

The advance bases for advancing Jingzhou are Yingchuan County and Runan County, and the advance bases for advancing Jiangdong are the three counties of Guangling, Jiujiang, and Lujiang. Then Hanzhong County will have the same status and role as these front-line counties.

For this reason, as soon as the entire territory of Hanzhong was pacified here, Guo Peng began to think about a suitable candidate for the prefect of Hanzhong.

Chapter 619 .620 eight Zhao Yun is a qualified minion

For a long time, in the stable and peaceful counties and counties in the interior, Guo Peng set up county prefects and county magistrates mainly based on their administrative capabilities, only civil servants, not military officers.

But in the counties in the border areas, when Guo Peng set up county chiefs, he mainly considered their military capabilities.

Some even set up civil servants and prefects in charge of farming and taxation, while some directly use military generals, add the title of general and concurrently lead the prefects, implement military control, and directly govern the military and administration.

For example, Tian Yu, the prefect of Liaoxi, Zang Ba, the prefect of Guangling, and Cao Ren, Xiahouyuan and Guan Yu in the three auxiliary lands, now Hanzhong is also counted.

Hanzhong is the absolute front line of war, and its military significance is far greater than its political significance. Therefore, Guo Peng decided not to set up a civilian prefect.

The candidate for the prefect of Hanzhong is particularly important.

In fact, Guo Peng felt that Wei Yan was indeed a good candidate for the prefect of Hanzhong. Although he did not have a strategic vision, the prefect of Hanzhong did not need a strategic vision.

As long as Hanzhong is not lost, it is enough to develop production. Hanzhong, which was destroyed by several wars, can just cooperate with Guo Peng's reshuffle.

But now Wei Yan is still too young, he just served as a captain in the Tiger Guards.

He is indeed capable and aggressive. He has not joined the Tiger Guards for a long time, and he has already made some contributions. He was appointed as the captain, and he is still too short to be a prefect.

At that time, Liu Bei was desperate for Ma Chao and Zhang Fei, so he made an exception and promoted Wei Yan.

Just like that, Wei Yan has also proved his ability, and he has followed Liu Bei for more than ten years, and it is not too abrupt. At this time, Wei Yan is absolutely useless.

Then it is necessary to re-select excellent generals.

The first ones to be excluded were Yan Liang and Gao Lan. These two were full-fledged generals, brave in battle, and capable of commanding, but each had their own shortcomings and could not defend, just like Zhang Fei.

At the beginning, Guo Peng had some expectations for Zhang Fei. Thinking of his ability to be subtle in roughness, he also assigned Zhang Fei to the post of Zhuojun garrison.

Later, Guo Peng found out that Zhang Fei was really not suitable for the left-behind position. Zhang Fei had drunken and made troubles many times in the garrison position of Zhuo County. Guo Peng expressed helplessness to him.

So Guo Peng transferred Zhang Fei to the border of Youzhou, and commanded the frontier army and the army of Karasuma people with the military positions of General Wei Zhenbei and General Hanhu Karasuma. In fact, he did what Guo Peng had done.

He is responsible for patrolling the grasslands, wandering on the grasslands, and once he finds that the Xianbei people have resettled, he will immediately launch a raid and attack indiscriminately.

Zhang Fei, a fierce fighter with the attributes of a berserker, was very happy about this, and he made this position impressive, and enjoyed a very high reputation among the foreigners in Youzhou.
