At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

In this regard, Fu Luohan agreed.

"Although there are many of them, there will not be too many of them. Besides, we don't need to fight them to death. We just need to contain them. There is no need to fight to the death. Just leave it to our Chinese army."

The goals of the two reached an agreement.

They decided to unite, and both sides gave up their personal grievances, joined forces to fight against the enemy, contributed their own strength, and fought for the survival of the entire Xianbei.

After negotiation, the two sides decided that Suli's younger brother Cheng Lugui would lead [-] cavalry to contain Guan Yu's army, and Fu Luohan's son Xie Guini would lead [-] cavalry to contain Zhang Fei's army.

Fuluohan and Suli joined hands and led a main force of [-] to meet Guo Peng's main force.

With the tactics of containing the two wings and breaking through the middle, he will fight Guo Peng to the death.

Never retreat, never admit defeat, never surrender.

Fight to the end!

They want to see if they can't hold it first or Guo Peng can't hold it first!

With such determination and courage, they blew the horn of battle, which made the Xianbei people start to work hard, actively prepare for the battle, slaughter cattle and sheep to make rations, and arrange the old, young, women and children to a safe place.

It's not that Su Ri and Fu Luohan haven't thought about what to do if they lose the battle.

After all, they have all experienced the fighting power of Guo Peng's animals. If they are really defeated, they can't leave no escape for themselves.

Suli and Fuluohan agreed that they couldn't completely leave no way out, after all, no one wanted to die.

There is still room to retreat.

If they were really going to be defeated, the worst would be to learn from the Northern Xiongnu back then. Whether they fled north or west, they would eventually flee.

The old and weak women and children who cannot fight will be arranged by them to rectify, and then go north first, waiting for specific news, if they win, they will come back, if they lose, they will continue to go north, then go west, and never come back.

If the [-] troops are defeated, these old and weak women and children will inevitably be captured by the Wei army, and the whole of Xianbei will be over.

Now there are at least a few seed players and a group of children left. There is still hope for the Xianbei in the future.

Facing the overwhelming momentum of Wei Jun Taishan, both hands must be prepared.

Just preparing for defeat is no better than preparing for victory.

On Guo Peng's side, he was determined to win and did not make any preparations for defeat, because in Guo Peng's view, defeat does not exist.

For nearly a month since its departure, the army has not encountered a large-scale Xianbei army.

The small group of sentry cavalry met a lot, and they also confronted each other. The Wei army searched for the enemy cavalry and repeatedly killed Xianbei's sentry cavalry, which gave the Wei army a lot of confidence in the combat mode.

However, the main force of Xianbei never showed up, and the cavalry who went to search for the enemy found nothing, as if the Xianbei people had never gone south, which made Guo Peng a little worried.

He was worried that the Xianbei people would really lose their souls after being beaten by him, so he simply stopped fighting this battle and fled northward desperately.

chapter 1095 one thousand one hundred and five

The situation that Guo Peng is worried about is not impossible.

During the deduction of the staff station, such a situation occurred.

A staff team in the staff desk successfully deduced a possibility that the Xianbei people desperately gave up their ancestral land and fled north, choosing a safer place to survive, and learning from the possibility of the Northern Huns fleeing far away.

The staff member who proposed this possibility was named Pang Tong, who was sent to the staff desk by Guo Peng himself.

He successively held several basic positions at the staff desk, and went to Jingzhou, Yangzhou, Pingzhou and Pingzhou to accumulate experience in field inspections. At the beginning of the year, he was transferred back to the staff desk to serve as the chief of staff of a combat team.

In this battle, after all kinds of battles were fully proposed, Pang Tong proposed such a possibility that Xianbei people avoided fighting, which prompted Guo to think seriously.

In this way, Guo Peng's strategic goal is of course achieved.

But with nothing to gain, nothing to loot, he punched the air with all his strength, and he would be so angry that he would vomit blood.

Then the expenditure for this war does not know when it will be recovered.

That feeling is really painful.

In this regard, Guo Peng didn't have a good solution. He could only follow what Pang Tong said, delaying the time for the Xianbei people to learn the news as much as possible, not giving them too much time to think about it, and not giving them sufficient opportunities to prepare. Disrupt their deployment.

Then the speed of the army's advancement must be fast, and it cannot be deliberately slowed down.

Guo Peng agreed, and he took Pang Tong with him in this battle, allowing him to shine in the staff team accompanying the army.

In addition, Guo Peng asked the enemy cavalry to get as close to the position of Langjuxu Mountain as possible to explore the movements of the Xianbei people as much as possible.

If those guys really fled north, what's the point of fighting this battle?

Suli, Fuluohan, you must not run away with oil on your feet.

How embarrassing it would be if this battle was won without knowing why.

During the march, while sitting in the chariot handling government affairs, Guo Peng kept praying and making wishes, hoping that Suli and Fuluohan would not follow the example of the Northern Huns and would stay and fight to the end.

In addition to managing the military affairs of the march, he also has to deal with a lot of government affairs.

When it comes to military affairs, the most troublesome thing is naturally the army's logistics supplies.

The whole of Hebei was indeed mobilized. About 80 civilian men were mobilized to participate in the march, and about 20 auxiliary soldiers were also mobilized.

Added together, there are 100 million logistics support personnel for the entire maintenance of this war.

In order to ensure the long-distance conquest of 20 troops, the Wei government needed to use 100 million laborers for logistical support, and the military and miscellaneous expenses spent for this were astronomical.

That is to say, Mr. Guo has a lot of income and reserves in these years, and he directly opens a position at a critical moment, otherwise he may not be able to make money by relying on the state's finances alone.

Liu Che has the foundation laid by the rule of Wenjing, the foundation laid by his grandfather and father, and he has the confidence to fight.

Guo has no foundation, and everything he has accumulated is taken from middlemen and squeezed from farmers.

After years of accumulation and construction, it has the confidence to carry out this large-scale Northern Expedition.

A large number of carrying horses and more than 30 sheep also provided him with a lot of assistance, which greatly reduced the burden on the logistics troops, reduced the burden on the logistics personnel by an order of magnitude, and reduced the transportation of a considerable amount of rice.

Even so, there are 80 households in Hebei that have been affected, and they will face a certain degree of trouble during the upcoming autumn harvest.

For this reason, Guo Peng asked areas with a large population to organize and send people to help areas with a small population harvest food.

In addition, during the entire march, not only the rations of 20 troops must be guaranteed, but also the rations of 100 million logistics personnel. They also need to eat.

If the quality is a little bit lower, or worse, multiplied by 100 million, that is a huge number. If Guo Peng's family background is not strong, it is really unaffordable.

So after Guo Peng planned this war, he almost knew why Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty beat the Huns to the point where the domestic household registration was halved.

It is really a waste of manpower, material and financial resources. If the support of logistics support personnel is not done well, it is normal for a large number of logistics personnel to die.

Therefore, Guo Peng has repeatedly emphasized to ensure the safety of the logistics personnel, to ensure that they can have enough food and not go hungry, and strictly follow the rules and regulations.

Of course officials dare not act recklessly, but it is normal to vomit bitterness.

After going out for a month, there were a few small encounters sporadically. Dong Zhao, who was in charge of logistics, went to the table and vomited bitterness to Guo Peng five times.

There is not enough money, not enough supplies, it is difficult to sustain, not enough officials and manpower, etc., all are complaints.

At first, Guo Peng was consoling, and then he opened the internal treasury by himself, and allocated 1000 million and 1000 million yuan to Dong Zhao for him to use. After allocating 6000 million yuan, Dong Zhao was still complaining.

That means asking Guo Peng to reduce the number of personnel rations, reduce the amount of rations, and reduce the burden on him.

In a fit of anger, Guo Peng scolded directly.

If you can do it, do it, if you can't do it, give me your resignation letter and get out!

What's the use of you if you can't do things!There are so many people who can do things, how many people are staring at your position with red eyes, do you think I can't find a replacement?

Want to relax?

Can!Take off the official uniform for me!Retire and go home!You will never have to worry about it!

After scolding angrily, Dong Zhao became honest.

He can't bear his official position.

He didn't continue to vomit bitterness, but bit the bullet and acted.

After that, I gave Guo Peng a few minutes to mention that some officials had hemorrhoids caused by sitting for a long time in handling government affairs. I hope that Guo Peng will increase manpower to help deal with logistical affairs.

On this point, Guo Peng agreed, and sent an order to Luoyang, asking Guo Jin, who was staying in Luoyang, to increase his manpower to support Dong Zhao.

Then he called Tian Feng and asked Tian Feng to go to the border of Bingzhou to supervise and assist Dong Zhao with logistics in Bingzhou, leaving only Cheng Yu by his side to help with daily government affairs.

The Wei government has expanded to the present, and the number of government personnel has greatly increased, but it seems that the ability to handle affairs has declined a little.

A big mobilization made these guys scramble and howl. It seems that it is necessary to carry out a wave of downsizing and elimination after the war.

This war is a touchstone, whether for the army or for the officialdom, it is a touchstone of full quality.

If you do well, you can naturally stay, and if you don't do well, Guo will never tolerate it.

If they don't give them a little color on certain things, they really think that Mr. Guo is a paper tiger.

Guo Peng also had a comprehensive understanding of the entire logistics issue.

It is nothing more than the speed of the army marching so fast that the speed of logistics transportation cannot keep up. The grassland roads have not been specially repaired, and the speed of the logistics team has slowed down after leaving the territory of the Wei Empire.

In this regard, Guo Peng asked the frontline troops to increase the ration of mutton as food, use more of these fattened sheep as soldiers' rations, and give soldiers more meat to replenish oil and water, so as to reduce the burden on the logistics troops.

However, the marching speed cannot be reduced. The slower the marching speed, the longer the journey will take, and the greater the impact on the development of the national economy. Guo is very clear about this.

He intends to fight this battle at the expense of Hebei's economic data for a year.

It doesn't matter a year. If it exceeds one year, the problems in Hebei will need to be supported by other places.

It is necessary to maintain the current marching speed and advance decisively in the direction of Langjuxu Mountain, without stopping, and without exposing the difficult logistics, so as not to damage morale.

However, looking at the logistical difficulties reflected in Dong Zhao's performance, Guo Peng also deeply felt the importance of confidence and reserves. Really, at any time, no matter whether it is a country or an individual, one must make a good reserve.

On a bigger scale, the Wei Empire could come up with astronomical material reserves.

To put it in a small way, Mr. Guo’s own internal treasury can provide 6000 million yuan to support logistics.

However, the province still has to save.

So in late June, Guo Peng lowered his food standard to the same level as the soldiers, eating the same food as the soldiers, and stopped using ice cubes, preferring to be warmed up rather than continue to spend so much up.

After finishing these things, he didn't worry much about other things, he was worried that the battle would not be fought.

In case the Xianbei chicken thief didn't resist and chose to run away, this battle would be like a joke, and it was the only thing he couldn't control.

Please don't.

Chapter 1096 One thousand one hundred and six

In late July, probably because Guo Peng's prayers had an effect, the enemy cavalry finally discovered the movement of Xianbei's main force.

Upon learning of this, Guo Peng was overjoyed, and immediately held an imperial battle meeting in front of his chariot.

Judging from the markings on the map, Guo Peng can probably conclude that the Xianbei people did not escape. They are very strong and are not afraid of Guo Peng at all, unlike the Northern Huns who know how to run.

In response to Guo Peng's three-way attack plan, they also adopted a three-way confrontation strategy to confront the Wei army head-on, trying their best to surround their homeland and dignity.

it is good!

it is good!

it is good!

Guo is so happy!

This is the real grassland warrior, who dares to face the bleak reality, the blood dripping directly, and the crisis of national subjugation and extinction, but still does not change his face and strikes bravely.

This is the Prairie Warrior!

Someone Guo likes such grassland warriors!

Although Xun You didn't think they were really brave, he just thought they were brave because they didn't know the inside story.

"Your Majesty, these barbarians probably don't know the exact number of our army. It's impossible for the scouts to count them clearly. If they knew the exact number, they probably wouldn't dare to fight."

Xun You gave his own opinion: "So I thought that they must not know the exact number and targets of our army, so they acted so rashly. Faced with our army's three-way attack, they actually met three-way attack, which is not much at all. If the troops are scattered and used, they will surely be defeated!"

Xun You was very dissatisfied with Xianbei's tactics.
