At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

The one that Guo remembers most clearly is that Han Song who came to Yecheng from Jingzhou in the name of seeing the truth but testing the truth.

This guy never lowered his attitude after seeing Guo Peng, and he didn't make any statement about Guo Peng's active low attitude. He didn't say anything about eating and drinking, and took a lot of things away. He didn't give Guo Peng any good looks .

In his own territory, Guo Peng suppressed all negative opinions through previous rectification campaigns and holding the high ground of public opinion.

But in the territory that is not his own, as far as Guo Peng is concerned, he still has mixed reputations. Obviously, Han Song is not the half of "reputation".

There are also Huang Zhong and Wenpin in the military system, as well as Wang Wei, Su Fei and others, who have never had a good impression of Guo Peng.

Although Huang Zhong's son was seeing a doctor in Jizhou, and a member of Wenpin's family went to the north to serve as an official, the two were still quite self-sufficient, at least not as active as Cai Mao.

But it just so happens that Guo likes people who take the initiative, because such people are easier to grasp. For those who want to be bitches and want to set up memorial archways, they have no good opinions. Such people are more grumpy.

Just like Gao Shun back then, Mr. Guo doesn't mind cutting off those morons, anyway, he won't be short of talents anymore.

It is not a problem for him that all the civil and military affairs in Jingzhou are dead. On the contrary, it is better, and he can get a clean Jingzhou.

Unlike now, except for the four counties in Jingnan who were a little bit chaotic, the three counties in Jingbei were still as stable as old dogs.

For Mr. Guo, forgetting the original intention is the only way to persevere.

Someone Guo really wanted to see how these people can play Jingzhou, and how Kuai Yue and Cai Mao planned to use Liu Biao's inheritance to please him. He sat in Luoyang City and watched this wonderful event with great interest. big drama.

At the end of April and the beginning of May of the first year of Yande, the civil war between Jingzhou and Yizhou was in full swing.

Gan Ning led the Jingzhou soldiers to guard the dangerous terrain around Yiling, and blocked Wu Ban's army. Wu Ban led the navy to advance, but they couldn't advance anyway.

For Gan Ning, a former traitor, Wu Ban didn't have any ill feeling towards him.

Because Gan Ning's rebellion was a civil strife among the locals of Yizhou, Zhao Wei, the representative of the locals, put down the rebellion.

For the Dongzhou people, Gan Ning's rebellion was beneficial, so now that the Dongzhou people are in power, Gan Ning will not be questioned.

However, Gan Ning didn't know what was good and what was wrong. Faced with Wu Ban's questioning, he insisted on letting them go back the same way and leave Jingzhou. Wu Ban was furious and immediately sent troops to attack Yiling, but Gan Ning fought back.

Wu Ban is also a veteran at any rate. He defeated many barbarians in Nanzhong during the Nanzhong pioneering campaign, opened up a lot of land, and established military and civilian settlements in Nanzhong. Ning's struggle, he found that he was really struggling.

It stands to reason that Gan Ning was miserably dealt with by Zhao Wei back then, and he was not a difficult character to deal with, but Wu Ban did not expect Gan Ning to be unexpectedly difficult to deal with.

That's natural. Although Gan Ning has been suppressed for many years, he has always been deeply ashamed. Gan Ning is very concerned about being defeated by Zhao Wei and turned into a bereaved dog. The book of war enriches itself.

Although there is no big battle to fight, but as a small lieutenant on Liu Biao's side, he can occasionally get some things to do to wipe out bandits. He also followed other Jingzhou generals in the army and fought a few small battles , has been tempered, and it is not what it used to be.

In fact, fighting sometimes depends on talent.

Like Huo Qubing, a military genius, no one can explain why he is so good at fighting at such a young age, and he has made great achievements in just 24 years of life, and has been passed down through the ages.

Naturally, Wu Ban couldn't understand why Gan Ning was able to restrain himself so hard that he couldn't move forward, which made him very distressed.

It was agreed to join forces to fight against Guo Peng, but when Liu Biao died, his son Liu Cong suddenly changed his mind. This made Wu Ban very worried. He was very worried, worried that Liu Cong would surrender from the state.

For now, not to mention Jiaozhou and Liaodong Gongsundu, which have no sense of existence, only Jingzhou and Yizhou are still flying the banner of Chinese characters in the world. These two big states in the south are the last positions of the Han Dynasty. Liu Zhang has already It became the last hope of the Han Dynasty.

However, even the Dongzhou faction that treated Guo Peng's surrender was not completely free of voices of opposition. There was also a voice within the Dongzhou faction that there was no way out for Yizhou to be trapped and they should surrender directly. Preferential conditions, such as falling leaves returning to their roots.

We are all from the north, wouldn't it be good to go directly to our hometown?

But both Wu Yi and Wu Ban believed that they had an enmity with Guo Peng, had resisted Guo Peng, and Sun Quan had learned from the past, so they couldn't believe that Guo Peng would not kill them.

Although the strength comparison between the two sides is overwhelmingly desperate, in the view of the Wu brothers, Yizhou's terrain can offset this part of the desperate disadvantage, and they are not fighting alone. With Jingzhou Liu Biao working together, the two sides jointly resist. Hope, right?

But once something changed on Liu Biao's side, such as the surrender of Juzhou, the Wu brothers would be really depressed.

The surrender forces within them will rise in an instant, and the psychological security defense line of a large number of Yizhou people will be destroyed in an instant, and there are not many people who are willing to continue to resist.

At that time, it is estimated that Liu Zhang will be frightened, and it is time to consider whether it is time to learn from Liu Cong and surrender voluntarily.

So when Liu Biao came to ask for help, Wu Yi and Wu Ban paid great attention to it, and immediately decided to ask Wu Ban to lead [-] troops and form an unbreakable alliance with the Jingzhou Alliance, and to send Guo Peng the strongest voice of their defenders of the Han Dynasty !

As a result, Liu Biao died, and Liu Cong was about to kneel?

Wu Ban panicked, and while sending people back to report to Wu Yi, he led his troops to attack Yiling, thinking to find out, but Gan Ning stopped him firmly, unable to advance an inch.

Water battles can't be won in water battles, land battles can't be won in land battles.

Fortunately, Gan Ning was only defending, otherwise Wu Ban doubted whether his side could withstand Gan Ning's attack.

This can't be done.

Wu Ban was worried and in a dilemma, so he could only wait here for news from Wu Yi. But after Wu Yi got the news, he was helpless and helpless. He didn't know what Jingzhou was thinking. Actually fighting a civil war?

After much deliberation, Wu Yi decided to let Wu Ban retreat back to Quren County, where he would garrison, guard the main roads, and wait and see the situation. Then he asked Liu Zhang to write a letter to ask Liu Cong what was going on.

Now the only two in the world who can resist Guo Peng, the two are not as capable of fighting as Wei Jun, and now they are going to fight a civil war. What does it mean?

Liu Biao is dead, is Jingzhou about to surrender?

Still fighting?

What about the Han Dynasty's last insistence?

chapter 798

When Wu Ban got the news of Wu Yi, it was already mid-May. At this time, he and Gan Ning had fought against each other with a high loss ratio, and both sides were a little tired.

So Wu Ban simply withdrew his troops and returned to Quren County to be stationed. Before leaving, he delivered Liu Zhang's letter to Gan Ning.

Gan Ning breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Wu Ban had retreated, and sent someone back to report.

The person who saw this letter was naturally not Liu Cong. Liu Cong didn't know anything now, was being delayed by a lot of boring government affairs, and was blocked by people around him from all sources of information. The people who saw the letter were Kuai Yue and Cai Mao .

"At this point, Liu Jiyu actually still has illusions in his heart. It seems that he really thinks that relying on the terrain of Yizhou can resist Wei Tianzi's army."

Kuai Yue sneered, set fire to Liu Zhang's letter, and burned it.

"What are you going to do? Once Wei Jun comes over, shall we surrender or not?"

"Surrender is definitely going to surrender, but Jingzhou is not the only ones who want to surrender, Huang Zu will definitely not surrender, Han Song will not surrender, and people like Wang Wei and Su Fei may not surrender either. These people have soldiers. Power, the influence is not small, if we rashly surrender, they may not agree."

Kuai Yue thought deeply: "Besides, it's not the first time that Han Song has come to ask me about the Wei army's movements in Nanyang. Huang Zu has also sent people to Jiangling to test the truth. I feel that we will soon be unable to hide this news. Now it is not far from the day when Emperor Wei will take action, we have to make these people lose the confidence to resist."

"Nanyang and Xiangyang, I will definitely not stay with Zhang Yun. When the soldiers of the emperor come, we will definitely surrender the city. The soldiers of the emperor will quickly advance to the front line of Xiangyang and directly enter Nanjun. Jingzhou will be defeated like a mountain." , by that time, it is estimated that they are unwilling to surrender, and they will have to surrender, right?"

When Cai Mao said this, Kuai Yue also nodded.

"These words make sense. Under the general situation, no matter how unwilling they are, they probably won't regard the survival of the family as a trivial matter. At that time, they can't help but be unwilling. Let it be like this. Huang Zu will definitely die. Others, maybe There is still salvation, so... where is His Royal Highness the King of Chu?"

Kuai Yue looked at Cai Hao: "And Mrs. Cai, Degui, what are you going to do? Mrs. Cai is your sister after all. If His Majesty asks them to go to Luoyang, would you...will you?"

Cai Mao pursed his lips and remained silent for a while.

"With Mengde in Luoyang, I don't worry about this. I'm waiting for the fist-hearted emperor to know. Didn't Emperor Fei of the Han Dynasty also get the title of Duke of Shanyang, so he can live a peaceful life like this? I think His Royal Highness Chu only needs to If you voluntarily surrender, the treatment will not be worse than that of the abolished emperor."

Kuai Yue nodded.

"It's good that you don't worry, then we can wait for the soldiers of the emperor to come to Jingzhou."

Kuai Yue set his sights on the north, and Cai Mao also set his sights on the north.

Also in mid-to-late May, Guo Peng learned of the news of the truce between Jingzhou and Yizhou through spies. Guo Jia and Le Jin.

"Edict of the Son of Heaven, Le Jin, the General Who Conquers the South, to lead the whole army, quickly march into Nanyang and attack Jingzhou, without any mistakes! May 23, the first year of Yande."

Staff officials sent Guo Peng's order and the Tiger Talisman for Dispatch of Troops from Luoyang. Le Jin took out his Tiger Talisman for Dispatch of Troops.

The order to march into force came into effect, Le Jin Chijie commanded the whole army to fight, and Guo Jia Chijie supervised the army's march.

"Sir! Follow the order!"

"Sir! Follow the order!"

Guo Jia and Le Jin knelt on the ground and took the order, then turned around and issued the mobilization order for the entire army.

The main force of the 5-strong Central Plains Corps of the Wei Army began to march towards Nanyang.

The army is divided into three groups.

Le Jin, the general who conquered the south, led the main force of the Chinese army with 3 people, starting from Yingyin County, passing through Ye County, Duyang County and Bowang County, with the goal of Wancheng.

Guo Lie, the commander of the garrison army in Runan County, led the left army, starting from Wufang County, Runan County, taking Wuyin County, and attacking Wancheng.

Li Qian, the commander of the garrison in Yingchuan County, led the right army, starting from Yangzhai County, crossing Luyang County, Zhi County and Xi'e County, and attacking Wancheng.

Anyway, everyone's ultimate goal is to attack Wancheng and win the final victory.

So the three armies marched hand in hand and invaded Nanyang County with their heads held high.

At the same time, Zhu Lingjia, the commander of the garrison army in Shangyong County, was awarded the post of General Pingnan as the deputy commander of the army. He immediately led the army to attack Xiangyang, cut off the retreat route of Jingzhou soldiers in Nanyang County from the flanks, and quickly seized the line from Xiangyang to Nanyang, laying the foundation for Jingzhou. The north wins the game, and joins Lejin's main force.

Xu Huang, commander of the garrison of Lujiang County, led the garrison of Lujiang County to attack Jiangxia County as a guest army, restraining Huang Zu's main force so that Huang Zu could not intervene in the Jingbei battle.

The tactical plan has been issued to the commanding officers of each army a few days ago. The Wei army was dispatched quickly, and the logistics troops were dispatched first.

Le Jin dares to say that this is the most boring and suspenseless war he has ever fought since joining the army.

No matter how you look at it, this is a war with a clear outcome.

The three armies marched hand in hand, wherever they arrived, they surrendered resolutely, as if they knew that the Wei army was coming, not only opened the city gate, but also prepared meals, it can be said that it was a pot of rice to welcome the king, it was so hot, It really made Wei Jun soldiers wonder if they came to invade Jingzhou.

This seems like a war of aggression, right?

How can it be the same as playing at home?

Whether it was Le Jin, Guo Lie, Li Gan, Cao Chun, or Li Dian, they all felt an inexplicable sense of disobedience, and only Guo Jia understood why and what was going on.

But these are not important, because they have even prepared food supplies for the Wei army along the way. He received a warm welcome from Zhang Yun, the governor of Nanyang County.

When Cao Chun arrived in Wancheng with [-] cavalry, he was not very willing to believe that Zhang Yun had given up resistance. He still wanted to make military exploits, but Zhang Yun really gave up resistance.

None of the [-] Jingzhou troops in Nanyang County resisted. They all disarmed and put down their weapons. They even took the initiative to raise the "Wei" flag at the top of the city. Waiting for Wei Jun to eat like a buffet.

Zhang Yun even prepared a thousand women to serve the iron cavalry of the Wei army galloping on horseback. Cao Chun and other generals and officers also had additional services for high-quality women.

Looking at Zhang Yun with a flattering expression, Cao Chun was deeply shocked.

Shameless to this point, catering to this point, even if Cao Chun wanted to find fault, he couldn't find it.

chapter 799 eight hundred and eight

Facing Zhang Yun's ultra-high concentration of flattery, Cao Chun was really embarrassed.

"Mr. Zhang, you... this is really expensive... it will cost a lot of money, right?"

"In order to welcome the soldiers of the emperor, a little money is nothing to worry about. To tell the truth, General Cao said that all the tax revenue of Nanyang County has been sealed in the treasury these years. Money, grain, silk cloth, and various materials are piled up We have bought a lot of warehouses, and we are waiting for the soldiers of the emperor to come to check and accept."

Zhang Yun's face was full of complacency, as if he was very proud of his efforts and actions.

Cao Chun was a little surprised, and then followed Zhang Yun into the city, and witnessed with his own eyes the many material storage warehouses that Zhang Yun said would be dedicated to Guo Peng. Bows and more.

If these things were used to arm the army, they could at least arm 5000 people, but they just put them in the treasury for no use?Dedicated directly to Guo Peng?

Cao Chun was shocked.

"All of these are dedicated to the emperor?"

"That's natural. Is it the king's land under the whole world? Is it the king's ministers on the coast of the land? The land and wealth in the world belong to the emperor, and I just keep them on behalf of the emperor. When the emperor's soldiers come, they will naturally return them to the emperor. Is it a strange thing?"

Zhang Yun's words made Cao Chun completely speechless.

After Cao Chun was stationed in Wancheng for two days, Le Jin led the main force to arrive, and was welcomed by Zhang Yun on a larger scale. The sound of gongs, drums and firecrackers was all that was needed. It didn't feel like a conqueror conquered Wancheng. , but the return of the people's soldiers to their hometown.

This feeling of being at home is not necessarily comparable to a five-star hotel.

Zhang Yun's sense of service is so ahead of him that he has reached the state of selflessness.

This person is a talent.

Guo Jia thought so.

Then he cheerfully hugged a beautiful woman who was specially used to serve him, and went to have fun.

Guo Jia, besides good wine and good sex, all of them are good points.

After spending the night of ecstasy in Wancheng, on the first day of June, Le Jin ordered his troops to prepare for war, and planned to continue to send troops to Xiangyang on the third day of June, further threatening Nanjun, the current center of Jingzhou.

Before that, Le Jin and Guo Jia got a lot of practical information from Zhang Yun.
