323 Conquer Hanoi
Without the deterrence of Yecheng, the counties around Yecheng are like fragile lambs, allowing Guo Peng to wreak havoc.
The generals of the various armies set out from all sides to fully blossom, and the county towns could not resist for an hour, and they would be broken by the Zhendong Army, occupied, and then swept the surrounding areas.
Guo Peng himself led his troops to drive directly to Handan, and easily took Handan, which was not prepared in time, and the Zhao State Minister appointed by Yuan Shao fled in a hurry, and Handan was occupied by Guo Peng, and he got a lot of baggage and grain and grass.
It didn't take much effort for several armies to take all Wei counties except Yecheng, and Guo Peng even led his army into Zhao.
There is still a war here, and Guo Peng has already sent people to start digesting Wei County, and began to send officials and administrative teams to settle in Wei County, and began to carry out post-war reconstruction and rule, so as to seize the opportunity.
After the experiment of Qingyan Erzhou, the feasible policy was determined to be laid in Jizhou with the advancement of the army, and a group of qualified grassroots officials who had been trained settled in Jizhou and began to run Qingyan Erzhou on the land of Jizhou, which was already a regular policy.
Guo Peng wants to turn Jizhou into his own Jizhou, occupying and ruling at the same time, this is not a rogue strategy.
War is the means, and domination is the end.
Yuan Benchu, I'm going to make you really homeless.
After capturing Handan, Guo Peng paused a little and summed up the people of Jizhou that he had seen since the capture of Wei County.
In short, the land was full of manors, and the fertile land was occupied by powerful landlords.
Many bankrupt peasants who had lost their land and homes due to war or various reasons were taken in as private serfs, providing the owners of the estates with food, utensils, wine, and all kinds of luxuries of the time, which became their instruments of pleasure.
The serfs farmed, weaved, raised livestock, made pottery, struck iron, made wine, and made all kinds of luxuries, achieving a well-established manor economy in exchange for a pittance of rations.
All the fruits of hard work were handed over to the owners of the estates for their enjoyment, and some of the features were sold to various cities for high profits.
Naturally, the government will not get a single cent of the wealth produced.
This era is completely a paradise for scholars and powerful landlords, and a hell for Li Shu.
All the way through, all over the manor, the fertile land was enclosed by the manor and belonged to private ownership.
Guo Someone knew why Emperor Ling had to sell his official position in the West Garden.
The emperor's family has no surplus food, and if he doesn't sell his official position, he won't even have to sell his official position.
Of course, not much of the money he used to sell his official position was used for business, and he was not wronged if he failed.
So while walking, Guo was thinking that he must not make Liu Xiu's mistakes, which belonged to the ancestors who made mistakes and future generations paid for them, and they also cheated all the Li Shu people together.
Liu Xiucai is not the chosen son, let alone the Great Magus, he is the elected spokesperson of the people who own a lot of land and a lot of wealth.
Fairness, justice, openness, and democracy.
Walking on the streets of Handan, breathing in the sweet air of Handan, Guo grinned.
This time is the third day of the seventh month.
Guo planned to continue to go north after the grain route was consolidated, and at the same time put a large number of sentinels to the north to probe Yuan Shao's movements.
At the same time, the troops attacking Hanoi and attacking Bohai County and Thanh Ha country were also progressing well.
After the Bohai County and the Qinghe Kingdom were plundered by Guo Peng's captive population and Gongsun Zhan's wanton invasion, they were not well governed and recovered.
Yuan Shao himself was too busy to take care of himself, and he didn't have time to govern the place, so he let the local wealthy families divide and divide up the vacant land, expand their family property, and give Yuan Shao some insignificant money as gratitude and compensation by the way.
Their construction results were not bad, and large estates were built.
And these land-owning people are not very powerful characters, in the face of the rapid assault of the army, running and surrendering, only a few choose to resist, and then are destroyed.
Bohai County and Qinghe Kingdom basically did not have a formed resistance army, and each county only had a few dozen or hundreds of armed forces, and in the face of the fierce regular army, it was nothing, and it was brave if they did not pee their pants.
Everywhere there are a large number of hungry homeless, and the homeless people are the real trouble than the insignificant resistance.
Compared with the very weak forces of Bohai County and Thanh Ha Kingdom, Hanoi County's resistance was relatively fierce.
Guo Peng ordered the Western Route Army led by Le Jin and Han Hao to attack Hanoi County, breaking into Hanoi County in one fell swoop, and even breaking through the three counties of Ji County, Huojia County and Xiu Wu County.
Among the three counties, except for Xiuwu County, which put up some resistance and was eventually captured, Ji County and Huojia County did not resist, and obediently Kaicheng surrendered.
The Xiuwu County Commander scolded Han Hao for being a traitor and a traitor, which made Han Hao very angry, so after capturing Xiuwu County, Le Jin allowed Han Hao to kill the Xiuwu County Order.
was able to get Ji County and Huojia County smoothly, Han Hao made a lot of efforts in it, and his leading party was too successful.
After taking Huojia County, Le Jin led the army to break through, and never encountered resistance along the way, and successfully reached the shooting dog, where he encountered almost 10,000 troops led by the panicked Zhang Yang.
At first glance, this army was put together improvised, and there was no neat queue, no unified military uniforms and standard weapons, and it was a hodgepodge.
Han Hao persuaded Zhang Yang to surrender directly, Zhang Yang thought that he had a grudge against Guo Peng, and he couldn't please him, and hated Guo Peng for killing Lu Bu, so he refused to surrender and let the army attack.
"Where did he get the courage to take the initiative?"
Lejin was curious.
So in order to let Zhang Yang recognize the cruel reality, Le Jin waved his army to cover up the killing, and taught Zhang Yang how to be a person, how to look at people, and how to choose the boss with absolute strength.
In less than an hour, Zhang Yangdong's patchwork army was defeated, Zhang Yang even suffered heavy casualties among his own guards, and was so frightened that he turned around and ran, and Lejin really didn't catch up.
More than 2,000 people were killed, and the rest were basically captured, and then Le Jin commanded the army to surround the county seat of Huai County, the county seat of Hanoi, and trapped Zhang Yang in the county seat of Huai County, which was June 27.
Han Hao persuaded him to surrender again, but was shot away by Zhang Yang with an arrow, so Han Hao was very annoyed and gave up persuasion.
"Uncle Zhang Zhi will not surrender anymore, for the sake of the general's great cause, Captain Le, I suggest that Huai County be stormed, even if Huai County cannot be attacked, but as long as our army strengthens the attack, it can make the people in the city change their minds, and in a few days, Hanoi County will be owned by me!"
Le Jin nodded and ordered the army to besiege the county seat of Huaixian, and the effect was very significant.
Three days later, there was a mutiny in Huaixian County, and Zhang Yang's subordinate Yang Chou did not want to be sent to death, so he sent people to attack and kill Zhang Yang, opened the city gate and surrendered, and sacrificed Zhang Yang's head as his own name.
Le Jin was overjoyed and accepted Yang Chou's surrender, and then ordered Yang Chou to lead the army as a guide to help Le attack and take the rest of Hanoi County.
There were no more organized resistance forces in Hanoi County, a few diehards were killed one after another, the counties of Hanoi County were taken one after another, and the Hanoi strategy was successfully completed.
Zhang Yang had a person by his side, named Dong Zhao, who was originally Yuan Shao's subordinate.
But because Dong Zhao's relatives were in Zhang Miao's army, Zhang Miao and Yuan Shao had always had a grudge, so some people slandered to kill Dong Zhao, and in order to survive, Dong Zhao escaped from Yuan Shao's camp and was taken in by Zhang Yang.
When Yang Chou betrayed and killed Zhang Yang, he arrested Dong Zhao, who was desperately protecting the master, and dedicated them to Le Jin and Han Hao, Han Hao persuaded him to surrender, Dong Zhao closed his eyes and said nothing, which made Le Jin very angry.
Le Jin was just about to give the order to kill Dong Zhao, but Han Hao hurriedly stopped him.
"Dong Gongren is very famous, killing him, I'm afraid it will cause other people to be uneasy, and it will be detrimental to the great cause of Ming Gong, it will be better to keep him and hand him over to Ming Gong to dispose of."
Le Jin thought about it, so he followed Han Hao's suggestion, sent Dong Zhao to prison, and strictly guarded him, and did not harm him.
During the entire process of eliminating Zhang Yang by the Zhendong Army, Yuan Shao didn't have time to react.
The day Zhang Yang died was also the day when Yuan Shao read Guo's essay on Yuan Yuan.
When Guo Peng led the army to advance rapidly, and Yuan Shao's Jizhou army was defeated like a mountain, Yuan Shao, who was far away in Jixian County and chatted and laughed with the Haoqiang clan, finally learned that Guo Peng sent troops to the Northern Expedition, defeated Yan Liang and Gao Lan, and the news that the troops were coming to Yecheng.
