At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

"Trading with you, real gold and silver, without any deceit! I am loyal, and I have no reservations in dealing with you, but what about you? Is this how you repay me?!"

Guo Peng reprimanded him sharply, Nan Lou fell on the ground trembling and said nothing, feeling both terrified and ashamed.

"You keep talking about friendship, but you break your promise when things come to an end. Is this the way you lead the tribe?!"

Nanlou wept loudly, kowtowed to Guo Peng continuously, smashed his head on the ground, bloodstained, begged Guo Peng's forgiveness, and begged Guo Peng not to kill him.

"Don't kill you, what do you use to tell me not to kill you?"

When Nanlou heard this, he suddenly raised his head, grabbed Guo Peng's ankle with both hands, and said loudly: "If the general doesn't kill me, I will lead my troops to fight with the general!"

Guo Peng kicked him away.

"When things come to an end, can I still trust you? If you betrayed me once, can I trust you a second time?"

"General! General! I...I swear to the sky! If I betray the general, after I die, my soul will never return to Chishan! I will be a lonely ghost forever!"

Nanlou knelt on the ground and swore.

The Karasuma people regard Chishan as a holy mountain. After a person dies, his family will kill a strong dog and bury him. They believe that this dog will return to Chishan with the soul of the deceased, and the road will not be disturbed by ghosts and ghosts.

This is quite a serious oath, and Guo Peng naturally doesn't believe it at all, but since Nanlou made such an oath, it will naturally have a certain effect in his heart.

The subordinates all looked at Guo Peng, waiting for Guo Peng's order.

Guo Peng was silent for a while.

"Set up the altar and prepare for the sacrifice!"

Guo Peng asked his subordinates to prepare the tributes that the Karasuma people needed to sacrifice to heaven.

As soon as Nanlou heard it, he knew that Guo Peng would not kill him, but at the same time, he must advance and retreat with Guo Peng.

Because of the sacrifice, because of the oath.

Once a formal oath has been made, it must not be renounced, otherwise it will be extinct from the world.

The sacrifices used to sacrifice to the heavens were all ready, and Guo Peng held the Nanlou in his hand and knelt with him in front of the altar and made an oath.

"Heaven and earth are lessons. Nanlou is willing to form an alliance with Guo Peng and never abandon it. If he violates this oath, he will be struck by lightning from the sky, and his soul will never return to Chishan forever."

"As a lesson from heaven and earth, Guo Peng is willing to form an alliance with Nanlou and never forsake it. If he violates this oath, the sky will be struck by lightning, and the corpse will be exposed in the wilderness, and he will not be allowed to enter the ancestral grave!"

Guo Peng and Nan Lou made their respective oaths as Han Chinese and Karasuma people, and then made an alliance with blood.

After the sacrifice, Nanlou felt very complicated, facing Guo Peng, his face was full of shame.

"Personally, I don't want to be an enemy of the general, but I am forced to. After making the oath, I will never do anything that violates the oath again. Can the general trust me?"

"If I didn't want to trust you, I wouldn't have sworn an oath with you. I've made an alliance with blood. You should keep your oath firmly."

Guo Peng warned Nanlou, and Nanlou expressed his understanding.

"If Qiu Liju wants to rebel this time, you just need to cooperate with him. If he wants you to sneak attack me, you come to sneak attack me. I will cooperate with you. Just tell him that I was killed by you. After that, we will wait for the secret alliance." Raise troops.

Together with me, you will attack Qiu Liju's base camp, attack them by surprise, kill Qiu Liju and other Karasuma kings in one fell swoop, and you can also save your relatives. Lord, let your subordinates be the masters of other ministries. "

Guo Peng held Nanlou's hand and sent him out of the barracks.

"The general is magnanimous, and Nanlou will never forget it. This time, Nanlou also entrusted his wealth and life to the general. I hope the general will be careful."

Nanlou made a very earnest request.

"Never give up."

Guo Peng swore.

"Never give up."

Nanlou also swears.

Guo Peng sent Nanlou away, then turned back to the camp.

"Zifeng, can he really believe it?"

Zang Hong followed Guo Peng to ask.

"Whether he is credible or not is not important. It is enough to sacrifice the world and drink blood to be the alliance credible. This time Nanlou can join forces with me, and our army can get at least ten thousand Karasuma elite cavalry. The chance of winning is Much more.

Yuan Rang, Miao Cai, Zi Xiao, Zi Lian, you go back quickly to prepare your troops for war, Zi Yuan, you go to prepare armaments and supplies, soon, there will be great chaos. "

"Yes!"

Five people took orders in unison.

Guo Peng saw Guan Yu and Zhang Fei at the side again, and stepped forward to hold their hands.

"This time Qiu Liju's rebellion is certain. I will ask Qiu Liju to repay the revenge of my senior brother and the soldiers who died in battle. Will Yun Changyide follow me to take revenge?"

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei looked at each other and nodded together.

"I would like to take revenge with the general!"

"it is good!"

Guo Peng was overjoyed and asked Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to lead the soldiers and fight with him.

Back in the army tent, Cheng Li said to Guo Peng: "My lord, is Nanlou really credible and will join our army? We have to make two preparations. If Nanlou is just perfunctory to me, we will fight with Qiu secretly." It will be very bad for us to unite together."

"Of course I know that."

Guo Peng sneered and said: "Although I have shown my strength and made an alliance with him, Qiu Liju is powerful and I am weak. Nanlou is not completely trustworthy. However, I naturally have a way to make Nanlou follow with all his heart. I dare not give up."

"My lord has a trick?"

"Immediately leak this matter to Qiu Liju, prompt Qiu Liju and Zhang Ju Zhang Chun to rebel in advance, kill Nanlou's relatives, force Nanlou to be hostile to him, and follow me!"

Guo Peng immediately ordered to Cheng Li: "Instead of waiting for them to rebel, it is better to take the initiative in your hands and force them to rebel now. There is no way out for Nanlou! Zhongde, tell Zongshijun about this, please Zongshijun immediately Get ready! Act now!"

Chapter 124 120 Four Rebellion Outbreak

Cheng Li agreed with Guo Peng's actions very much and started to act immediately.

And Guo Peng also started the maximum strategic preparation.

On the evening of April [-]th, the Zong members learned that Guo Peng was in a hurry, and said that Mr. Shanggu Karasuma was grateful for his kindness, and informed him that Zhang Ju, Zhang Chun and Qiu Liju were allied with the intention of rebellion, and the Zong members were asked to prepare as soon as possible.

The sect members have also heard some rumors these days, saying that Zhang Chun's behavior in Yuyang is quite strange, and now he is even more shocked when he hears it.

The Zong members urgently dispatched troops and generals, and immediately sent envoys to inform the imperial court, preparing to ask for support, and also urgently informed the county magistrates of various places in Youzhou about the matter, telling them to prepare as soon as possible.

On the evening of April [-]th, Qiu Liju received a tip-off from Su Shuang, a Han merchant with frequent contacts.

Su Shuang told him that Nan Lou had secretly informed Guo Peng that he was going to rebel with Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun, and that he was preparing to join forces with Guo Peng to attack him, and asked him to prepare as soon as possible.

Qiu Liju turned pale with shock.

He had a guilty conscience, and at this moment he was startled and angry, so it was difficult to tell the truth from the falsehood. He immediately ordered the execution of Nanlou's relatives, and immediately dispatched troops to join the other two adults to attack Shanggu County, and then immediately informed Zhang of the matter. Take Zhang Chun and agree to rebel in advance.

Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun also received the news that the sect members were dispatching troops and generals on the evening of April [-]th. They were shocked and did not understand what happened.

It wasn't until the afternoon of April 21, when Qiu Liju's news arrived, that they knew that their plan to rebel had been leaked, and that the imperial army was already coming to crusade.

Panicked, Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun hastily announced their rebellion, and led their soldiers to storm Yuyang County in the early morning of April 22.

The well-prepared chaotic army smashed the unsuspecting Yuyang battalion soldiers who had internal responses, and not only that, but also killed the Yuyang prefect who was caught off guard.

After taking down Yuyang Camp, the rebels enriched their armaments, engulfed the people and officials, robbed the wealthy gentry and wealthy households to supplement their military resources, and then gradually gathered tens of thousands of people, making a great momentum.

Then, the rebel soldiers divided into two groups, and marched towards Ji County under the leadership of Zhang Chun, preparing to kill the clan members, and then joined forces with Qiu Liju to attack Shanggu County and kill Guo Peng.

The other road, led by Zhang Ju, marched to Youbeiping, preparing to build a base camp, attacking the city and conquering the land as a foundation, and the destination was Feiru.

The route of rebellion was discussed very early on, and the route of march was also discussed by Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun, and the preparations were almost done, but the matter suddenly leaked, and they didn't know what was going on.

But things have come to this, and they can only rebel in advance.

After all, the rebels had been prepared for a long time, coerced a lot, and marched with great momentum. On the way to Jixian County, they broke Changping and Anle.

When the members of the sect learned that the rebel army had quickly rebelled and gathered more than [-] people, they were shocked. They immediately sent someone to tell Guo Peng about the incident, and asked Guo Peng to lead his army to rescue Ji County immediately. He will defend Ji County to hold back the main force of the rebel army. , to buy time for Guo Peng.

At that time, the clan members reluctantly gathered [-] soldiers and horses to invest in the city defense in advance. Although the follow-up soldiers and horses have been called, it will take time to rush to Jixian County, and it is even a question of whether they can rush to Jixian County.

What Zong members can count on most is Guo Peng's elite cavalry.

At this moment, Guo Peng also had his own enemies. Qiu Liju sent Wu Yan, Lord Karasuma of Youbeiping, to lead [-] cavalry to attack Guo Peng and Nanlou, trying to wipe out Guo Peng's cavalry and wipe out Guo Peng's troops. Threatened, and by the way, kill Nan Lou who wears a pair of pants with Guo Peng.

Nanlou didn't know that he was killed until the surviving clansmen who escaped from Qiuli's residence came back and told him that all the relatives he sent were killed by Qiuliju, and that Qiuliju wanted to send people to punish him. Has been regarded as an enemy by Qiu Liju.

He was first shocked, then devastated.

Then Guo Peng sent someone to tell Nanlou that the sect members had sent someone to warn him that the rebels suddenly rebelled, and the clan members asked him for reinforcements. The situation changed, and he wanted to join forces with Nanlou to rescue Ji County immediately.

At this time, Guo Peng had ordered [-] elite cavalry to march with him. After arriving at Nanlou's camp, he learned that Nanlou's family members had been killed by Qiu Liju.

It turned out that it was not known who had informed Qiu Liju, and said that Nanlou had informed Guo Peng. Guo Peng already knew about Qiu Liju's plan to rebel.

Qiu Liju was very annoyed by the shock, and immediately killed Nanlou's relatives, and sent people to attack Guo Peng and Nanlou, the army had already been dispatched.

Guo Peng was shocked and expressed his shock. He didn't know why the news leaked.

Afterwards, Guo Peng and Nan Louyi got together and felt that it might be that a businessman who often traveled around various tribes to do business and even had business dealings with Guo Peng got the news by accident, and then told Qiu Liju the secret.

"Hateful! One hundred secrets and one sparse! Such a thing happened!"

Guo Peng gritted his teeth, and Nanlou hated Qiu Liju deeply.

Nanlou doesn't think that this matter has anything to do with Guo Peng. Guo Peng made an alliance with him and swore that he would not betray him. What's more, he would make an appointment with him to kill Qiu Liju in a sneak attack, so as to put down the rebellion directly. State turmoil, so this matter must have nothing to do with Guo Peng.

In fact, before this, Nanlou had been struggling and swaying.

On the one hand is the co-lord of Karasuma, and on the other is the sacrifice and oath. He is very entangled and doesn't know what to do.

But Qiu Liju killed his family and came to attack him, forcing him to give up his fantasy, choose to join forces with Guo Peng, and completely abandon Qiu Liju.

Guo Peng felt very sorry for the death of Nanlou's relatives. Nanlou shed tears and said that it was all Qiu Liju's fault, and he would never give up with Qiu Liju.

So he tried his best to pull up a cavalry of more than 5000 people, and together with Guo Peng's [-] cavalry, a total of [-] people, challenged Qiu Liju.

The [-] cavalry led by Wu Yan rushed all the way, leaving no dogs or dogs in the places they passed along the way. They crossed Youbeiping and Yuyang counties from Liaoxi County all the way, and charged towards Shanggu County.

At the same time, Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun's followers arrived in Jixian County, and began to engage in fierce offensive and defensive battles with the clan members. Seeing the rebel army's strength, the clan members urged Guo Peng to lead troops to help.

Guo Peng was planning a decisive battle with Wu Yan. Seeing this, he asked Nanlou to take five thousand Karasuma cavalry to go to Ji County first, and united with the clan members to fight against Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun.

He will lead [-] soldiers and horses to fight against Wuyan, and immediately after the battle, he will lead his troops south to join Nanlou and Zongyuan.

Nanlou obeyed Guo Peng's arrangement and entrusted his troops to Guo Peng. He led 5000 people to the south to support Ji County, and fought against Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun. Guo Peng himself led [-] Han cavalry and [-] Karasuma cavalry to meet Wuyan and go.

Guo Peng's soldiers and horses are at a disadvantage, while Wu Yan's cavalry is superior, [-] to [-], an overwhelming advantage, but in ancient battlefields, a large number of people may not always be an advantage.

Wu Yan led the army to replenish some supplies after arriving in Yuyang, and then drove directly to Shanggu County to govern Juyang County. If you want to attack Juyang and enter Shanggu County, you need to pass through Juyongguan.

Chapter 125 Build walls with five heights, accumulate grain widely, and become king slowly

Juyongguan connects the Taihang Mountains and Yanshan Mountains. The terrain is dangerous and the strategic significance is very important.

When the northern border encountered military disasters in the early Eastern Han Dynasty, the Han government once migrated the residents of Shanggu County and Dai County to the east of Juyongguan to avoid the disaster.

Guo Peng led the army to advance towards Juyongguan. At the same time, Kuai Ma urgently reported to Gao Yan, the prefect of Shanggu, asking him to immediately send county soldiers to seize Juyongguan and fortify it, so as to prevent the rebels from breaking through Juyongguan and slaughtering Shanggu County.

Gao Yan, the prefect of Shanggu, received the urgent request from the clan members a few days ago, and immediately conscripted [-] county soldiers to seize Juyongguan fortification, and then recruited troops on the spot.

In a few days, Gao Yanqiang recruited a thousand soldiers from the county to prepare for the defense. When he felt that there were few soldiers and horses, he asked Guo Peng for help. Immediately mobilize all the resources in your hands to prepare to defend the level.

From Juyongguan to Jixian, an extremely fragile line of defense was formed for the Han army. For the rebels, taking Juyongguan could not only prevent Guo Peng from going south to join the clan members, but also completely wipe out Guo Peng's cavalry. wipe out.

They believed that the most effective force in Youzhou was the Karasuma Battalion under Guo Peng's command.

So the rebels marched in two directions, while the Han army launched a resistance under the leadership of Zong Yuan and Guo Peng, and a big battle was imminent.

The Han army was at a huge disadvantage from the beginning of this battle.

Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun opened the arsenals of various places and equipped the weapons of the Han army to the Karasuma cavalry of Wuyanbu, not only that, but also armor, crossbows and siege equipment.

As a result, this Karasuma cavalry not only had mobility, but also had the ability to attack cities. They broke through several unprepared cities all the way, got more military supplies, and their strength increased greatly. Only then did they dare to attack Juyongguan and drive directly Shanggu County is in trouble for Guo Peng.
