At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

In fact, the Wei Empire already knew a lot about the geography of Liaodong. After many years of penetration, the geography and climate of Liaodong were not a problem at all in the Wei Empire's staff desk.

So when sending troops to Liaodong will encounter obstacles from Liaoze and Liaoshui, someone Guo directly pointed to the map and proposed his two-way plan for sending troops.

"Our army didn't need to go through Liaoze at all. Zhang Fei and Tian Yu were the main ones all the way. They took a detour to the north, detoured from the grassland, and rushed directly from Liaoxi County to Xuantu County. Xianbei along the way has been wiped out by my conquests over the years. Zhang Fei and Tian Yu The horse team has one person and two horses, equipped with dried meat, and uses the horse team camels to transport rations!

The other route is the main force of Yujin, boarding the ship directly from Yuyang Port, taking the sea route, directly landing and attacking Pingguo County, all the way northward, passing through Wen County, Anshi County, Xinchang County, and reaching Xiangping!Gu wants to let Gongsundu know that Liaoze and Liaohe, who he thinks can stop our army, have never been in Gu's eyes! "

Guo Peng punched hard on the map of Liaodong.

This is a safe route that has been explored for many years between the Central Plains merchants and Liaodong. Of course, the Taishici Navy is also credited. In order to pacify Liaodong, someone Guo has already started to fight the sea.

The road in Liaodong is difficult, so he will abandon the land route and go directly to the sea route. With the ships and transport capacity he has mastered, it is a breeze to land directly on the Liaodong Peninsula by sea to attack Xiangping County.

So this second marching strategy was confirmed in this way.

This is Yu Jin's second route.

There is another road, the third road, which is Tai Shici's navy.

Depart from Qingzhou, take the sea route, land from North Korea, first destroy Samhan, and then destroy the Korean peninsula.

Someone Guo started the war for the entire Liaodong, not just for one Gongsundu.

After that, Guo Peng wanted to count the land of Liaodong and the Korean Peninsula together, and really set up a new state-level administrative unit called Pingzhou.

Naturally, no one would object to the strategic plan proposed by the emperor. Xi Zhong and Xun You led the staff to plan the army's marching route, plan various preparations and arrangements in advance, and so on.

Dong Zhao, Minister of the Ministry of War who was in charge of logistics, joined the discussion with a team from the Ministry of War.

According to Guo Peng's instructions, send commissioners to the counties of Jizhou to mobilize grain and fodder, and then go to Youzhou to organize the mobilization of civilians. The auxiliary soldiers in the army should also be mobilized and organized. Before the army goes to war, the food problem along the way must be solved. .

The Wei army's marching operations have long had a set of inherent procedures, but the implementation locations are different. This time it is Jizhou and Youzhou. Jizhou and Youzhou, which have accumulated grain and people's strength for many years, are about to face a test.

Han Hao, governor of Jizhou, Xian Yufu, governor of Youzhou, and Mi Zhu, governor of Qingzhou, rushed to Luoyang to report on their duties and joined in the war discussions.

Special reports were made on the traffic and grain issues in Jizhou, Youzhou and Qingzhou.

After a series of rectification preparations, by mid-August, various plans had passed the demonstration and started to be implemented. By the end of August, basically all the plans that needed to be implemented had been implemented in place.

Han Hao, Xian Yufu, and Mi Zhu respectively issued strict orders in Jizhou, Youzhou, and Qingzhou to supervise Jizhou, Youzhou, and Qingzhou for war mobilization.

This is in terms of logistics and administration. With an order, the wartime system began to operate.

Chapter 862 .870 Two Guo Peng's goal is big

In terms of military affairs, Guo Peng officially ordered Zhenbei General Yu Jin to be transferred to General Zhengbei on the first day of September, as the commander of this military operation, and General Pingbei Zhang Fei as the deputy commander of this military operation.

Dinghai General Tai Shici is also the deputy commander of this military expedition, but he acts alone, the goal is to completely occupy the Korean peninsula, there is no need to join forces, just complete his own mission.

For this military operation, Guo Peng will recruit 1 troops from the newly established Guangyang Camp, 1 elite cavalry under Zhang Fei who specially entrap the Xianbei tribe, and 5 garrison troops from Liaoxi County under Tian Yu. The number is [-].

In other words, Yu Jin can command a maximum of 5 main soldiers to launch a full-scale offensive against Liaodong. Depending on the situation, if the situation is not good, he can send additional troops at any time.

Guo Peng ordered Zhang Fei to be the vanguard. He will lead 1 elite cavalry under his command to arrive at Liaoxi County first to meet Tian Yu, and then become the vanguard with Tian Yu.

The [-] troops will directly detour through the northern grassland, break into Xuantu County from the grassland, and attack Xuantu County.

The 2-strong Taishici Navy Department naturally went directly to the land of Samhan, destroyed Samhan, destroyed the scorpion, went north along the Korean Peninsula, and occupied the Korean Peninsula.

Some people also suggested that Karasuma could send [-] troops to Nanlou alone, which belonged to the forbidden command, but after learning that Nanlou was ill, Guo Peng dismissed this idea.

This battle was the same as the previous crusade against Jiangdong. It was also a joint sea and land battle, with a three-way attack, which made Gongsundu unable to cope with the enemy.

It is also necessary to destroy all the alien regimes in the Northeast that have had a good relationship with Gongsundu for several years, and bring this piece of land directly under the rule.

This is the ambition of a certain Guo, it is a proof that the Guo Wei Empire has reached a higher level, and it is the charge of the prosperous age!

In addition to these, Guo Peng also thought about it, and sent someone to call Guo Jin, who was working as a county magistrate outside Luoyang.

He decided to let Guo Jin participate in this military operation.

Take his little friends to Yu Jin's side, go to the battlefield as Yu Jin's soldiers, and experience what a real war looks like.

"You are already 20 years old, and this battle is also very necessary for you. You started in the army for your father and fought for many years to get where you are today. Therefore, you know that force is the foundation of power. Without force, there is no power.

Although you have experience in politics, you have never had experience in the army. It is inappropriate for your father to go, so this time you are going. Of course, don’t make a fuss about it. You take someone there yourself. My father will tell General Yu, and you don’t want to either. reveal their identity. "

Guo Peng patted Guo Jin on the shoulder.

Guo Jin nodded, indicating that he understood.

"My son will not embarrass his father."

"Being a father doesn't mean you go to war. You don't know how to fight. The important thing is to watch, listen, learn, be humble, and respect General Yu as you respect your teacher. Feel how General Yu commanded the battle and what the battlefield is like." This is completely different from taking you to visit the barracks for your father."

Guo Peng said: "This time you go, take all the people around you and let them accompany you. You can go to the battlefield together and experience it together. This will be beneficial to both of you."

"Yes."

Guo Jin took the order.

So Guo Jin summoned his friends, Lu Yu, Cao Tai, Cao Zhen, Xia Houheng, Xia Houshang, and Lu Yi, as well as Guan Ping, who was serving in the guard army—there must be one who had actually served in the army. Experienced people give you some advice.

In order to further protect this group of juniors, Guo Peng also sent fifty Imperial Guard soldiers from the first team of the most elite Imperial Guard around him to follow.

A group of juniors put on their helmets and armor under Guo Jin's call, and with a little excitement, they rode their horses towards Youzhou.

Cao Lan had rarely quarreled with Guo Peng about asking Guo Jin to hide his identity and go to the Imperial Army, saying that Guo Peng didn't take his son seriously.

Guo Peng was very helpless, so he had to hold Cao Lan and explain to her.

"At that time, I joined the army at the age of 19. In the first battle, I followed my teacher to fight against the Yellow Turban Bandit. In the first battle, I was covered in blood. I can't beat those yellow turban thieves.

Only with the first time can we have the next me, and we have our today. A Jin is the one who will inherit my position. I don’t ask him to be able to lead the army like me, and I dare not take his Risking his life, but at least he must understand what war is. "

When Guo Peng said this, Cao Lan reluctantly accepted Guo Peng's statement, but she was still worried about her son's safety day and night. Guo Peng had no choice but to sleep with her every night to comfort her.

This military operation has dispatched a scale of 7 people so far.

Counting the large-scale logistics personnel, especially the sea transportation requires more logistics personnel, so no matter what, you can get the level of 20.

With this order of magnitude and this offensive strategy, the staff of the Guo Wei Empire did not believe that the Gongsun regime had the ability to resist.

According to the intelligence personnel, the Gongsun regime didn't even think that the Wei Empire would attack them at this time.

Not counting these, with Yizhou's population of one million and its terrain, it would not be able to resist an onslaught by the Wei Empire, let alone this separatist regime that was even inferior to Liu Zhang in the eyes of the staff team.

Yizhou's geographical advantage in defensive warfare definitely surpasses Liaodong's geographical advantage in defensive warfare.

In terms of population, according to the intelligence sent by the spies of the Linzi camp, the Gongsun regime separatized the bitter cold land of Liaodong. The Han population they controlled was indeed not small, but it was not much larger.

The population obtained from conquests and plunder over the years plus the immigrant population who did not return to the Central Plains and decided to settle in Liaodong is about 40.

In fact, they shouldn't have only so many people.

The outbreak of the Yellow Turban Rebellion in the six years of the former Han Guanghe period and twice in the three and four years of Zhongping caused a large number of people in the Central Plains, especially Qingzhou and Xuzhou, to flee to Liaodong across the sea for several years.

If Guo Peng hadn’t been born, he would have wiped out the Yellow Turbans and stabilized the Central Plains as soon as possible, and this number would have continued to rise, so that during the period of Yuan Cao’s struggle, Gongsun Kang had more than 100 soldiers. It can be seen that the population of Liaodong at that time definitely reached the level of more than [-] million. .

However, the Chinese have always relocated and relocated. When their hometowns are in chaos, people will flee abroad. When their hometowns are stable, the population will return.

So until Sima Yi's crusade against Liaodong, Liaodong actually experienced a long process of population loss. The Gongsun regime continued to lose the population of the Central Plains, so that after Sima Yi's successful crusade against Liaodong, only about 30 of the population of Liaodong was obtained.

And the appearance of Guo Peng made Liaodong never get so many people at all.

Since he occupied Qingyan Erzhou, the political situation in Qingyan Erzhou has been very stable, and large-scale land granting and garrison policies have been implemented, and people's livelihood has been stable. The population began to flow back to Qingzhou continuously.

Zheng Xuanguan Ning Guoyuan and others fled to Liaodong at that time and came back again. This process cannot be stopped by Gongsun Du.

In other words, Gongsundu tried to stop it, but the effect was not very good, and he failed, so he simply gave up.

Homesick people cannot be prevented from wanting to return to their hometown.

So right now, the population controlled by Gongsun Du is an order of magnitude lower than that of Liu Zhang. A regime of this level is really not worthwhile for the Guo Wei regime to use 20 troops and logistics personnel to participate in the war.

It's just that Guo Peng's goal is big, not just to attack Gongsundu, but to occupy the entire Liaodong.

It is necessary to destroy all the foreign regimes that have formed in Liaodong, such as the Fuyu Kingdom and the Koguryo Kingdom.

The Great Wall must also be expanded, and the Liaodong area will be completely included in the ruling area of ​​the Guo Wei Empire, and immigrants will be here in the future.

This is not the same concept as attacking Gongsundu.

Although the Gongsun regime is indeed not weak.

Chapter 863 The Economic Means of Someone in Sanguo

The Gongsun regime in Liaodong, based on the information Guo Peng now has, can already be considered a regional hegemony regime that dominates Liaodong, rejects Goguryeo in the east, caresses Fuyu in the north, and serves Han and Yi in the south.

This regime has a high status and a certain appeal among the aliens in Liaodong. In a certain sense, it replaced the position of the central government in the cognition of the aliens in Liaodong.

What Gongsun Du has done is indeed not easy. It is not easy to achieve a regional hegemony by relying on hard work and a unique geographical location.

Needless to say, Gongsun Du is not a simple character, but also a hero-level character.

The Gongsun family in Liaodong is a big family with a family background of two thousand stones. It is the most famous wealthy family in Liaodong. It has been rooted in Liaodong for many years. There are many children in the family, and many of them hold official positions.

By the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Gongsun family gradually divided into two power groups, one belonging to Gongsun Zan and the other belonging to Gongsun Du.

The two major warlords of the Gongsun family shared Youzhou, and Gongsun Du established his career earlier than Gongsun Zan. When Guo Peng became the general of Hukarasuma, Gongsun Du had already served as the prefect of Liaodong and began to establish his foundation.

But I don't know if he just wants to stay in Liaodong and doesn't want to go to other places. For nearly 20 years, he is still managing his one-acre three-point land in Liaodong.

Gongsun Zan had long been defeated by Yuan Shao, and his Gongsun clan was also liquidated by Yuan Shao and the local tycoons, and died a miserable death. The rest of the Gongsun clan were under Gongsun Du's command.

This person is capable, talented, ambitious, and visionary, but he lacks some structure, which is not big.

He failed to compete with Yuan Shao for Youzhou after Gongsun Zan's death, and tried to develop to Hebei. His greatest effort was to try to cross the sea to Qingzhou.

Of course, this is probably also due to the inconvenient transportation in the bitter cold of Liaodong that restricted his development.

During his stay in Liaodong, he obtained the population who came to Liaodong to take refuge because of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, established an army, and a bureaucratic team to grow and develop.

After that, he fought against Koguryo, went north to make peace with Fuyu, and drew Fuyu to fight against Koguryo, and then gradually expanded his sphere of influence to the south, stabilized Lelang County, and dominated the Liaodong region.

If it comes to military capabilities, Gongsun Du really has it, and the combat effectiveness of the army, Gongsun Du also has it.

In the battles against Gaoguli, Liao and Sanhan, Gongsundu showed strong military capabilities. He beat these places until they dared not covet Liaodong. the power of.

But this seemed to give him an illusion that he could dominate Liaodong forever.

He may not have thought that his comprehensive strength is completely incomparable with the Central Plains, whether it is population, economy or military.

Perhaps he felt that Guo Peng would not come to crusade against Liaodong, because Liaodong was too bitter and cold, and the roads were inconvenient.

After Guo Peng conquered Xianbei and frightened Youzhou, he ordered Tian Yu to be stationed in Liaoxi County, building the Great Wall and roads at the same time, in preparation for the conquest of Gongsundu.

As for Gongsundu's perennial garrison in the east of Liaoze to guard Tian Yu's movements, there are not many soldiers and horses, and it doesn't look like he is preparing for a big battle with Guo Peng.

Before attacking Yizhou in Jingzhou, when he proclaimed himself emperor, Guo Peng recruited Gongsundu to surrender, but Gongsundu didn’t respond, so he pretended he didn’t know about this matter, apparently to wait and see the situation, and then he felt that Guo Peng would not make a big move Come to crusade against Liaodong.

It's no wonder that he has been king and hegemony for nearly 20 years, and he is used to freedom. Now, if he is to be made to confess and surrender, even Liu Zhang has to resist. How can a Liaodong overlord like Gongsun Du be willing to surrender?

But if you don't give up your resistance, I'm going to beat you up.

Someone Guo has been unhappy with Gongsundu for a long time.

Including Gongsun Du, the land of Sanhan, the land of Yeji, Gaogouli, and Fuyu, he wants them all, and he wants to destroy them all.

The purpose of this battle is to wipe out all the Northeast power groups in one go, bring the Northeast into the territory of the Guo Wei Empire, and complete their own expansion of territory.

He wants to expand the territory of the empire to a point that the Han Empire has never reached, so as to prove that he is better and more orthodox.

So no matter what, this battle must be fought.

Now, political and military means have been used, but in order to deal with Liaodong, Guo has more than these two means.

And there is a third.

economic means.

When cleaning up the three major regimes in the south of the Yangtze River, Guo's economic means came in handy.

Before the station, he terminated the trade with the three major regimes in the south of the Yangtze River in advance, so that they could not get all kinds of urgently needed materials, so as to hit their war potential and limit their mobilization and combat effectiveness.

However, considering the size of these three regimes, the Liaodong regime is undoubtedly weaker, and Guo Peng was also the first to plan economic means for the Liaodong regime.
