On the ninth day of September in the fourth year of Chuping, 50,000 people of the Northern Expeditionary Army after Guo Peng's rectification moved south from Handan and surrounded Yecheng.

Then Guo Peng ordered that the handsome banners of Yuan Shao's army, the general banners, and the heads of the killed generals and soldiers be piled up outside the city to deter the defenders of the city.

The defenders in the city were already very irritable because they had been surrounded for a long time, and they lacked food and could not see Yuan Jun, but now they saw that Yuan Shao had come to help in person and had been defeated, and their hearts were full of despair.

However, the trial still did not fall, and scolded Guo Peng as a traitor, Yuan Shao will definitely come back to kill him and restore the foundation.

Guo Peng immediately ordered to drain the water of the ditch surrounding Yecheng, fill the ditch, and then attack Yecheng with an army of 50,000 on all sides, using all the tricks.

Under the onslaught of 50,000 troops, Yecheng was breached on the third day, that is, on the 11th of September.

The trial also wanted to resist to the end, led the army to fight in the streets, resisted stubbornly, and blocked the joint assault of Zhang Liao and Zhang Fei, and finally Guo Peng invested in the macho Dian Wei and the thousand tiger guards, and broke the final stubborn resistance of the trial with this heavy blow.

The judge was taken prisoner along with his two sons, and the three were taken prisoner together.

After being captured, the trial mate also scolded non-stop, scolding Guo Peng for being a chaotic minister and thief, and he would definitely be severely punished, and Yuan Shao would sooner or later kill him and take Guo Peng's head or something.

Guo Peng didn't think about persuading him to surrender, and after learning of this, he ordered him and his son to be killed, beheaded the trial father and son together, and hung the heads of the trial father and son on the gate of Yecheng, and they were only allowed to take it down after ten days.

That's what happened to me.

Guo Peng, who was awe-inspiring with murderous intent, wanted to make the opposition forces in the entire Jizhou tremble under his feet.

After Yecheng was breached, Guo Peng found that the residents of Yecheng were very hungry, many of them were skinny and skinny, and many of them had starved to death, so he immediately ordered porridge to be released to help the residents of Yecheng.

The residents of Yecheng then felt great for Guo Peng, and stabilized in a very short time.

Subsequently, Guo Peng arranged for Zhang Liao, Zhang Fei and other generals to lead their armies to sweep Zhao State and Julu County, and he temporarily stayed in Yecheng.

Guo Peng released Tian Feng from prison.

Tian Feng was also dying at this time, and after being poured a bowl of porridge and a bowl of chicken soup, he barely woke up and was able to speak.

"I heard that Tian Gong tried his best to dissuade Gongsun Chan before Yuan Benchu's Northern Expedition, and asked him to attack me first, and then attack Gongsun Zhan, saying that Gongsun Chan is just a small trouble, and I am the confidant, is there such a thing?"

Tian Feng lay on the couch and nodded slowly.

"It is true."

"But Yuan Benchu didn't listen to Tian Gong's strategy, but imprisoned Tian Gong, and now he has suffered such a fiasco, 60,000 troops have been wiped out, Jizhou is already in my pocket, how is this not the end caused by Yuan Benchu's fault?"

Guo Peng looked very sighing.

Tian Feng sighed deeply.

"If General Yuan adopts my strategy, maybe it will be General Guo who will be ridiculed now, and General Yuan will be the one standing here."

Guo Peng smiled and shook his head.

"No, the result is the same, no matter what, at the beginning of the fourth year of Chuping, the result is the same, before the start of this battle, my subordinates all thought that there might be twists and turns in this battle, but the result is the same, I will never lose, Yuan Benchu will never win."

Tian Feng was a little puzzled.

"General Guo is inevitably too confident, right? General Yuan, the fourth generation and the third duke, his protégés and former officials are all over the world, raising his arms and shouting, and the world responds, such a reputation, General Guo should not have it, right? ”

"Yes, I don't have the fourth world and the third duke, I don't have a family biography "Meng Shi Yi", and I don't have protégés all over the world, so I can only be down-to-earth, accumulate and operate little by little, and start planning how to annex Yuan Benchu from a long time ago."

When Guo Peng said this, Tian Feng was surprised.

"General Guo has been planning since a long time ago? How long ago? ”

"Four years ago, when Yuan Benchu attacked Qingzhou, I decided to eliminate him, all the preparations I made, the four years of exhaustion, were all preparations for the elimination of Yuan Benchu, I was thinking about destroying him and annexing him all the time."

Guo Peng said this, and laughed again: "But before, Tian Gong may not believe it, I was really taken aback when I learned that Yuan Benchu had pulled up an army of 80,000 people from Youzhou and Jizhou with a few words, and I thought I was going to lose."

This number is really scary, I was very envious at the time, I thought, the fourth world and the third prince are really good, why is my family not the fourth world and the third prince? Why am I not the heir of the fourth and third princes? Why doesn't my family inherit one of the 14 family laws?

In that case, I can also compete with Yuan Benchu, right? Jizhou Haoqiang Youzhou Haoqiang will definitely do what he can, and will not fully fall to Yuan Benchu, but I also know that I can't decide, at least I am still the son of Yingchuan Guo, at least, my family biography "Little Du Lu".

How many people are out of reach, it is already a rare thing to be able to pass on the scriptures from home, at least, this gives me the possibility of confronting Yuan Benchu, so that I will not be under the command of a thousand holes, everyone yearns for Yuan Benchu, not to mention, I am under the banner of General Yuan Highway. ”

Tian Feng seemed to laugh a few times helplessly.

"Tian Gong thinks what I said is wrong? If my family doesn't have a family scripture, if I don't come from a scholar family, if I don't play the banner of General Yuan Highway, I'm afraid that this battle will have been lost before it has been fought, and my ending will not be better than Gongsun Bogui. ”

Regarding Guo Peng's statement, Tian Feng seems to agree with it.

"General Guo's self-knowledge, if General Yuan could have half, no, half of half, General Yuan would not have been defeated so badly."

"There's no way, who made me born inferior to others, I can only carefully drill the camp and accumulate carefully, for fear that if I take a wrong step, it will be a catastrophe."

Guo Peng sighed helplessly: "If your background is not as good as that of people, you are inferior to people everywhere, so sometimes, I still envy the pre-Qin, the thousand-year-old bloodline, which is not comparable to the military merits of the head, and the nobles of the six countries were trampled under the feet of the foolish man of the head of the Qian. ”

Tian Feng shook his head helplessly: "The matter has come to this, Jizhou, Youzhou, and even Merge Prefecture will all belong to General Guo, take the liberty of asking, after the general pacifies Hebei and becomes the first prince in the world, what does the general want to do?" Is it Kuang Fu Han Room, or ......"

"Naturally, it is Kuang Fu Han, and I am Hanchen."

Guo Peng opened his mouth and said: "I will send troops to fight against Li Dao, welcome back Your Majesty, rebuild the palace in Luoyang, and re-stabilize the order of the world." ”

Seeing Guo Peng's majestic appearance, Tian Feng frowned slightly.

"What about Yuan Highway?"

"Yuan Highway? Naturally, I want to serve Yuan Highway as the mainstay, and use the banner of General Yuan Highway to crusade against Li Dao and welcome back the Holy Driver. ”

Guo Peng is still full of Wei Guangzheng.

"The general has such a big momentum, such a large territory, such a powerful army, occupies the land of three states, and has millions of household registrations, is he still willing to be under the Yuan Highway?"

Tian Feng stared at Guo Peng tightly.

Guo Peng grinned.

"My family is only the Yingchuan Guo family, with a family background of 2,000 stones, how can it be compared with the Yuan family of the fourth and third princes? Tian Gong, when I rescue Tian Gong's family, we will talk slowly. ”

Guo Peng stood up: "Before that, I still wronged Tian Gong, and I will send someone to recuperate for Tian Gong." ”

Tian Feng took a deep breath, slowly exhaled, and said: "General Guo, the first prince in the world, it is not easy to do, the general should pay attention to his rear, the enemy in front of him is a real enemy, but is his own person in the rear really his own people?" ”

"Don't worry, Tian Gong, I already thought about today four years ago, whether it is the enemy or my own people."

Guo Peng turned around and left the cell.

Tian Feng looked at Guo Peng's departing back, pursed his lips, leaned less, his face relaxed, and his whole body relaxed.

"Yuan Benchu didn't lose unjustly at all, hehehehe......"
