At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

And Guo Peng put the next emperor next to Yu Wenze, let him take the prince to familiarize himself with the marching and fighting, and give instructions on the basic principles of using troops. It is obvious that it is better for him to stay with the prince. impression points.

Although in all dynasties, the emperor had doubts and suspicions about the prince, the emperor especially tabooed the prince from contacting the army to gain military power, and also tabooed the prince from having contact with high-ranking officials and generals in power, but Guo Peng treated Guo Jin as if it's not true.

Moreover, Yu Jin has some special circumstances here, which cannot be generalized.

Chapter 869 .870 Jiu Yujin wants to repay Guo Peng's trust in him

Yu Jin was from Mount Tai. He had known Bao Xin in his early years and trained soldiers and horses for Bao Xin.

Later, Bao Xin admired Guo Peng, so he recommended Yu Jin to Guo Peng, let Yu Jin take refuge in Guo Peng, and work for Guo Peng, so that Yu Jin started to embark on the fast lane of life.

Training troops for Guo Peng and commanding troops for Guo Peng have always been in a very important military position.

He has won the trust of Guo Peng, and even now he has become one of the five tiger generals. His status and position are even higher than those of Yuan Cong veterans such as Xia Houyuan, Cao Hong, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei.

It can be said that Guo Peng has always admired him very much, and the resources given to him have always been good.

At that time, he was the first general to lead an army alone when conquering Xuzhou. Unfortunately, although he succeeded, he caused the deaths of Chen Gui and Chen Deng, so that he didn't do his best. further.

Even so, Yu Jin's status in the Wei army is quite high.

It's just that a series of political turmoil followed that no one expected.

No one thought that the battle between the Han and Wei dynasties would come so fast and so suddenly.

Therefore, in the political turmoil of the alternation of Han and Wei Dynasties, Bao Xin, who recommended him to join Guo Peng's army, was subjected to a tragic political liquidation because he opposed Guo Peng's further progress and stood in the wrong team.

The Taishan Bao family was also a family that followed Guo Peng very early and contributed to Guo Peng, but in the end they actually opposed Guo Peng's further progress, which made Guo Peng very annoyed, so he acted decisively.

Bao's political status and power were completely deprived. The reason why Bao Xin was able to save his life was that Bao Xin was cowarded at the last moment, and there was no way to go to the dark. Then Guo Peng remembered Bao's early years of helping each other, so he didn't kill him. .

But it's just that there is no killer.

Apart from their lives, the Bao family lost all their power and status, and had nothing left. Even the family was relocated to Yanzhou to make a living farming outside Luoyang.

Guo Peng kept the Bao family, and he might also have the idea of ​​alerting the later generations, so that the later generations can weigh their own weight and see if they are stronger than the Bao family and have higher power, so that the Someone Guo dared not do anything.

If not, then it's best not to do something against Guo's will.

Mr. Guo never showed mercy to his enemies.

At that time, many people were frightened, but most of them were political figures. Since the military was all owned by Guo Peng himself, Guo Peng had a good grasp of it, so there was basically nothing to worry about.

But there is one exception, and that is Yu Jin.

Knowing that Bao Xin stood in the wrong team and was liquidated, Yu Jin was frightened to death.

He has a good relationship with Bao Xin.

The two exchanged letters all the year round, and would give gifts and visits during festivals. Bao Xin and Yu Jin even discussed whether to have a son or daughter and in-laws, so as to make the relationship between each other's families closer, and the military and political circles blossomed.

It can be said that the relationship between Yu Jin and Bao Xin is very good, which is well known in Wei State.

So when the news was tight, when Bao Xin was taken down, there were even rumors that Bao Xin and Xun Yu and others colluded with the generals in the army to try to rebel.

The spearhead is directed at the ban.

Someone wants to take this opportunity to bring down Yu Jin, frame Yu Jin as a traitor, and kill him.

At that time, Yu Jin really thought that he was about to be implicated, that Guo Peng and Bao Shi would cook him up, and he was terrified.

He was even mentally prepared to commit suicide to prove his innocence and save his family.

As a result, Guo Peng promoted Yu Jin's military rank and power after he ascended the throne, and it seemed that he didn't know the rumors at all.

During the whole political turmoil, during the turmoil of the alternation of the Han and Wei Dynasties, Yu Jin had nothing to do. One of the third-class marquises.

The gossip and rumors against the ban are gone, as if they never existed.

After hearing some inside information, Yu Jin, who felt like he would survive the catastrophe, was the one who was grateful and the one who was lucky!

This time, Guo Peng didn't make any big fanfare, but quietly sent Guo Jin over to be Yu Jin's own soldiers, and let them go to the battlefield to experience the war. Yu Jin understood the meaning of this.

It is inconvenient to do this with great fanfare, which makes people hate Yu Jin, but Guo Peng wants to tell Yu Jin——

I have no doubts about you.

The Bao family is the Bao family, you are you, don't feel uneasy because of the Bao family's affairs, do things for me well, and I will protect your family's wealth and well-being.

Sensitive Yu Jin understood what Guo Peng wanted to tell him, and he was determined to feel the great grace of the emperor, and wanted to wipe his tears excitedly.

So Yu Jin vowed to use a hearty victory and a whole Pingzhou to prove his loyalty and repay Guo Peng's trust in him.

Yu Jin's main force marched all the way to the Liaodong Peninsula along the sea route, Zhang Fei and Tian Yu's partial divisions were galloping across the prairie, and Tai Shici's navy was also advancing resolutely towards the Korean Peninsula.

They travel very fast.

However, at this moment, in the middle and late September, Liaodong still has not heard the news of Wei Jun's march.

In fact, it cannot be blamed that the Liaodong side did not take precautions and did not send people to investigate the news. It is really that their intelligence level is much worse than that of the Linzi Camp.

Before the war, Yan Rou secretly arrived in Liaoxi County in July and began to preside over the intelligence war against Liaodong. She successfully controlled the identities and residences of all the spies of the Gongsun family in the Youzhou area, and mastered their course of action. and connection method.

At the beginning of September, after Yan Rou learned that the battle to pacify Liaodong was decided to start, she immediately started to act simultaneously.

The masters from the Linzi Camp were dispatched to carry out precise killings on the spies of the Gongsun family. One kill was accurate, and all the spies of the Gongsun family were killed within three days, completely destroying the Gongsun family's eyeliner in Liaodong.

No phone calls, no text messages, no WeChat, and no emails.

There is no way to quickly transmit information, information can only be transmitted between people using ancient tools, the efficiency and speed are pitifully low, and there is not even such a strict organization as the Linzi Camp.

Therefore, Yan Rou judged that within a month or two, the Gongsun family could not even figure out what happened in Liaoxi County and what happened to their espionage organization.

There is no way to know that the Wei army is advancing rapidly.

They may be distressed by the rise in food prices and the lack of food now. Can they still hear the news of Wei Jun's march?

When they figure out that the Wei army is attacking them, it is estimated that they will have to wait until Zhang Fei and the others take Xuantu County, or Tai Shici and the others attack Sanhan.

This kind of battle is also a situation that must be won.

Guo, who is far away in Luoyang, has the chance to win.

On September [-]th, when Tai Shici's naval army had arrived on the Korean peninsula and started to land on the Korean peninsula, and was preparing to start marching according to the established route, Gongsun Kang and Liu Yi were devastated by the large-scale civil chaos in the five counties of Liaodong.

While the Wei army was marching, the food crisis in Liaodong was constantly fermenting, and the quantitative change soon led to a qualitative change.

It is not known where the news began to leak at the earliest.

The terrible news of "there is no food" immediately spread in many places in the five counties of Liaodong.

Because the news spread so fast and the direction was so precise, even Liu Yi wondered if someone did it deliberately.

They are trying to prepare quietly, secretly buying a batch of grain, and preparing to take the lead in stabilizing the army when necessary. As long as the army can be stabilized, there is still hope for everything.

As a result, the news suddenly exploded, and everyone flocked to the nearest grain store to see if there was any grain. There was no warning at all.

Chapter 870

Originally, the people in Liaodong were only curious about this news, and they were only a little worried, but no one took the initiative to buy it.

In the end, I don't know who started it. Suddenly, people started to buy a large amount of food, saying that they should buy in large quantities while the price has not risen, otherwise they will not be able to buy it later.

One drives two, two drives four, and four drives sixteen.

Soon, the panic-buying turmoil that spread across the entire city, county, and region began inexplicably.

What's even more frightening is that this looting really went wrong, and some grain stores were really sold out, and there was no grain to sell.

The angry crowd broke into the store and beat and smashed it. They rushed to the warehouse to see that it was empty, and there were really not many bags of rice for sale.

Now it's broken.

Now is the autumn harvest season, and this crop of grain is just harvested, so Liu Yi hurriedly asked Gongsun Kang to collect the grain urgently, and used the money to buy grain with those old-fashioned people who were still growing grain. I bought some, but more People don't sell it, they say they want to keep it for themselves.

Before Gongsun Kang had time to force the conscripts, and before he had time to do it, the news that there was no food came out.

Now something bad happened.

After spreading the word, everyone flocked to the grain store to find out what happened. After seeing what happened, they immediately fell into a panic, looking for grain everywhere to buy, and looking for those grain merchants who sold grain cheaply in the past. No one could be found at all.

Then the rumors flew.

They said that someone ran away, that someone was arrested, that there was a plague in the Central Plains and that everyone died, that no food was delivered, and so on, all kinds of weird news.

Food is the most important thing for this people, but no one can buy food anymore. What do you think this is?

What to eat when there is no food?

Suddenly, the price of grain soared, and some grain stores closed their doors and stopped selling grain. People panicked because they couldn't buy a single grain with a lot of five baht.

After years of changes, Liaodong people have become accustomed to the commodity economy model of buying things with money. The commodity economy is very developed, even comparable to the four major metropolitan areas in Wei State.

Luoyang metropolitan area, Yecheng metropolitan area, Linzi metropolitan area and Puyang metropolitan area.

This kind of very developed commodity economy phenomenon can only be seen in these metropolitan circles even in the country of Wei.

False prosperity is desirable, but no one realizes that the foundation of the commodity economy is a harmonious prosperous age, and in troubled times, hard currency is king.

Food is the hardest currency.

Five baht is really worthless.

But Gongsun Du didn't understand, and neither did Gongsun Kang. They wanted to break their heads, and there was only one solution.

Do everything possible to get food and stabilize the army.

At least Gongsundu knew that the army is the foundation of a warlord, and passed it on to Gongsun Kang, so Gongsun Kang also knew that the army was his lifeblood and the pillar of the Gongsun regime, so even if the people had nothing to eat, they had to let it go. The army has something to eat.

Liu Yi immediately suggested that Gongsun Kang dispatch government forces to search and collect food in all directions, and strictly guard against any traces of Wei Jun's activities in the direction of Liaoze and the coast.

Things have come to this point, Liu Yi can't help but not believe that these things are not Wei Guo's conspiracy.

What a vicious scheme!

Guo Zifeng is so vicious to this extent!

While scolding Guo Peng, Liu Yi tried his best to mobilize his subordinates to search for food, collect food, and look for things that can temporarily replace food in advance, and store them for emergencies.

At the same time, the Liaodong Army also began to guard against the movement of the Wei army in the direction of Liaoze.

The troops in Wuli County, Xiandu County, and Liaodu County were on alert immediately, and Gongsun Kang also asked Gongsundu's order to mobilize [-] elites from Liaodong to support these three counties.

This is a dangerous place, and we must defend it. Holding these places can stop the advance of the Wei army. As for the food problem...

Right now there is still some stored food that can be used, although not too much, but fortunately the amount of food consumed by the more than 3 troops in Liaodong is not large.

The seriously ill Gongsundu was stunned for a long time after learning about the incident reported by Gongsun Kang, and then angrily scolded Guo Peng for being a despicable person, and scolded Guo Peng for being vicious to a certain extent.

Then he coughed violently for a while, and was out of breath.

"Find a way to collect food. No matter how you say it, the army can't be chaotic. Let the army have food. As long as the army is not chaotic, it can guard against the traitor Guo Zifeng. As for the people, if they are too hungry, they will naturally go to the sea to catch fish and shrimp. To satisfy the hunger, there are also those raised cattle, sheep and horses that can be eaten, and no one can die."

Gongsundu told Gongsun Kang that it doesn't matter if he rushes to grab food when necessary, he must stabilize the army and let the army know that they have sufficient food supply.

If the morale of the army is stabilized, the battle situation can be stabilized. Even if the Wei army comes to attack, it will be difficult to transport food across Liaoze. If you stick to the dangerous place and persist for a while, the Wei army will definitely retreat.

"The army is the most important thing, and everything else is secondary. As long as you stick to the dangerous places, when the Wei people run out of food and grass, they will definitely retreat. The most important thing now is to collect all the food that can be collected, and then prevent the Wei people from attacking, Guo Zifeng If you plan on me like this, you will definitely send troops!"

Gongsun Du coughed violently again, and Gongsun Kang hurriedly asked the doctor to come in to see.

It was very easy for Gongsun Du to stop coughing, and Gongsun Du was also very tired and speechless, so he could only leave everything to Gongsun Kang.

So Gongsundu finally handed over his tiger talisman to Gongsun Kang, and asked Gongsun Kang to handle things carefully.

Gongsun Kang took the tiger talisman he had dreamed of, but he didn't have the joy he imagined in his heart. He just felt that getting what he wanted at this juncture was really fucking fucked up.

He didn't want to face such a crisis at all, but he was forced to face it.

God, is it really okay to face such an enemy and such a predicament at this time?

Gongsun Kang didn't know if he could do it, but he still did what Gongsun Du said.

Collect food at all costs to ensure the supply of the army, maintain the combat effectiveness and fighting will of the army, and put everything else aside.

In short, it is to send troops to grab food.
