272 Guo Peng, who forged ahead, and Lu Bu, who fled
Less than a month after learning the news of Dong Zhuo's death, Guo Peng once again received the news that Wang Yun was dead and that Dong Zhuo's remnants had entered Chang'an to control the emperor.
He knew that the Han family had once again become a puppet controlled by the warlords.
Since Guo Peng has learned about it, everyone in the world has also learned about it.
Guo Peng didn't know how many people in the world had broken their liver and intestines when they learned the news, and how many of them had broken their liver and intestines on the surface.
Anyway, Guo is definitely the latter, not the former.
Guo has the former under his command, such as Xun Yu, who is in charge of comprehensively rolling out the strategy of controlling locusts, and feels extremely hated for this, and angrily scolds Liangzhou for causing chaos in the army and disaster to the country and the people.
But the latter is definitely much more.
What's more, you'll be excited about it.
Because they know that now is the time to fight for the Lord they have chosen.
Chen Gong began to jump up and down to design a plan for Guo to attack Yuan Shao and exterminate Yuan Shao.
How to send troops, how to march, how to attack Yuan Shao's vital points, how to destroy it, how to occupy Jizhou to rule Jizhou, and then how to further pacify Youzhou and Merge Prefectures in Hebei.
In this way, you can relieve your worries and get a stable rear.
Then, after all this is done, it is time to seek to the west to advance into Luoyang and Chang'an, seize the emperor in his hands, and carry out a political offensive against the world.
Chen Gong told Guo Peng with great confidence that judging from the current situation, Guo Peng should adopt the strategy of first north, then west and then south.
Because the north side is the enemy, it must be eliminated first, so that there is no worries.
The south is an ally, and it cannot be turned around unless necessary.
Chen Gong didn't have a good impression of Yuan Shu, and felt that Yuan Shu was just a son and brother who relied on his family background to get to this status, and he didn't make political achievements in Huainan, and he made a living by plundering places, and he was completely unpleasant.
"If the general wants to fight against Yuan Shao, he can't do without the name of Yuan Shu, and once Yuan Shao is destroyed, the general will have to think about himself."
After learning that the Jingshi was in turmoil and the only remaining glimmer of life in the Han family was cut off by the people of Liangzhou again, Chen Gong seemed to have some kind of consciousness, and vaguely proposed to Guo Peng this suggestion, which is still relatively distant now.
Guo Peng felt that what Chen Gong said was right.
Before Yuan Shao was destroyed, he couldn't turn his face with Yuan Shu, at least he had to ensure the harmony on the surface.
As for the opportunity to turn his face with Yuan Shu, Guo Peng is in his hands.
However, the most important thing at the moment is still not the Northern Expedition, but to rectify internal affairs, raise more food and grass, and build more ordnance.
Especially heavy ordnance.
For example, trebuchets.
That's right, at the same time as learning of Dong Zhuo's death, Guo Peng's Ordnance Research Institute set up in the valley around Lu County finally restored the trebuchet.
A group of skilled craftsmen followed the ideas given by Guo Peng, and finally restored the trebuchet that Guo Peng had been thinking about for several years.
The emergence of trebuchets can be said to have changed the military situation in the late Warring States period and contributed to the further development of the theory of the city defense system, but such an important weapon of the country was lost for a time.
Guo Peng really couldn't understand.
Only a large number of craftsmen can study together, restore together, and use their own simple technical means to restore the trebuchet through continuous attempts.
Because the earliest trebuchets were also created by skilled craftsmen with their simple thoughts and industrious hands.
Now it's not creating, it's reducing.
Guo Peng rewarded the two craftsmen who made the greatest contributions, each with ten catties of gold, and almost fainted with joy.
With this, Guo Peng announced that as long as he could develop tools that were beneficial to the country and the people, whether it was agricultural tools, handicraft tools or military tools, he could be rewarded.
Depending on the significance, the rewards are different, which is equivalent to the issuance of a policy to encourage invention and creativity.
As soon as the policy was taken, the craftsmen immediately began to fight for gold with confidence.
The completion of the trebuchet made Guo Peng full of confidence in the future march and conquest, so he began to pay attention to the team of craftsmen under his command and the principle of secrecy.
Guo Peng divided his personal guard team and stationed it here, strictly guarding the surroundings of this place, and began to no longer allow free entry and exit.
For craftsmen who have mastered the manufacturing method, the painter is sent to draw and handed over to the guards to enter and exit, and they need to check the face image and report the identity and position of the place of origin before they can enter and exit.
All the family members moved to Lu County, set aside a special area for them to live in, and sent people to protect and monitor them day and night.
If there is any vision, you must notify Guo Peng as soon as possible.
How can our intellectual property rights be stolen by others casually?
Guo still attaches great importance to the protection of his intellectual property rights.
Of course, it doesn't matter if someone else's is violated, it should be violated or violated.
While Guo vigorously prepared ordnance materials and made adequate preparations for the next war, Lü Bu broke the Wuguan and fled to Yuzhou and found Yuan Shu.
Lu Bu proudly presented Dong Zhuo's head to Yuan Shu, bragged about his merits, and expressed his desire to take refuge in Yuan Shu.
Yuan Shu was quite happy to get Dong Zhuo's head, and just as he was about to agree to Lu Bu, the news came that Lu Bu's subordinates were plundering the rich people everywhere.
Probably faint from hunger, as soon as they arrived at Yuan Shu's territory, they began to plunder and use their traditional skills.
Yuan Shu was very dissatisfied at that time.
My territory, only I can be a robber! What are you?!
Three times five divided by two, Yuan Shu drove Lu Bu away.
Lü Bu had no choice but to lead his troops to the north, cross the Yellow River north through Chenliu County, and go to Yuan Shao.
Who made the two brothers famous?
Lu Bu passed through Chenliu County and met Zhang Miao.
Zhang Miao likes to make friends, and is still very friendly to Lu Bu, who once helped the torture but "woke up in time" to atonement the crime, and personally met with Lu Bu and held a banquet to entertain him.
Lu Bu couldn't help but sigh, saying that he was treated by Yuan Shu, and he sighed that Zhang Miao was a good person.
After that, Lü Bu left Chenliu County and led his generals to cross the Yellow River and advance to Jizhou, Hebei, and went to seek refuge with Yuan Shao.
Yuan Shao was having a headache at the time.
The reason is very simple, although Gongsun Chan had no time to go south because of the bloody battle with the old sect members, Yuan Shao himself also offended Zhang Yan, the leader of the Yellow Turban of Montenegro, because of the previous battle with Gongsun Zhan.
Therefore, Zhang Yan, the Yellow Turban of Montenegro, who had millions of people, made a feud with Yuan Shao, and Zhang Yan constantly sent troops to attack Yuan Shao and harass his counties.
The county's Taishou county commander kept complaining to Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shao had no choice but to send troops to crusade against the Montenegrin army, and fought repeatedly, although he killed many Montenegrin troops, his own losses were not small.
Just when he was worried that he didn't have a strong enough general, Lu Bu came.
At this time, Zhang Yan, the leader of the Yellow Turban of Montenegro, led 10,000 elite soldiers and 3,000 cavalry to attack Changshan, and Yuan Shao asked Lü Bu to join forces with him to fight against Zhang Yan.
With Yuan Shao's army pressing the formation, Lu Bu was able to give full play to his ability to ride and fight, often riding a good horse named Chitu, and dozens of people under the command of Cheng Lian and Wei Yue, who were close to him, rode horses to attack Zhang Yan's military formation.
Because he was very brave and had superb riding skills, and the riding skills of a group of people under his command were also quite exquisite, Zhang Yan's army could not stop him.
He went to charge three or four times a day, charging with his soldiers, galloping across the country unstoppable, and his archery skills were so superb that the cavalry of the Montenegrin army could not defeat him.
Because of his personal bravery and the elite of his own soldiers, Lu Bu was able to repel the Black Mountain Army every time and help Yuan Shao gradually turn the tide of the battle.
Under the hard work of Lu Buduo, after fighting continuously for more than ten days, Yuan Shao finally defeated Zhang Yan's army, expelled the remnants of the Montenegrin army from Changshan, and drove them back into the mountains.
So Yuan Shao and his subordinate Wenwu praised Lu Bu's bravery.
