Eighty-nine Arrive in Nanyang
Guo Peng led the army out of Dong'e County, all the way to the south, walking on the road, still thinking about the situation in Hebei Yellow Turban and Henan Yellow Turban with Cheng Libing last night.
He felt that this person had a great sense of the overall situation, could determine many things through a little information, was quick in thinking, had a wealth of knowledge, and had a practical talent, and he could feel between his words that he did not have the frivolity and detachment from reality of the scholars he had seen before.
Based on the actual situation, he made a lot of decisions that allowed Dong'e County to survive this disaster, and he made a decision immediately, without the kindness of a woman, and was very decisive.
Obviously, this person is a doer, and he is a rare practical talent.
Could it be that he died early, so he didn't leave a name?
Cheng Li, Cheng Zhongde......
Cheng Zhongde......
Chung Tak ......
Well?
Guo Peng's eyes widened suddenly.
Cheng Zhongde?
Dong'a people?
Cheng Yu?!
Guo Peng raised his head in surprise, and then turned his head to look in the direction of Dong'e County, which was no longer clear, and was extremely surprised in his heart.
Leaning less, he regained his composure.
Then a smile tugged at the corners of his mouth.
"By the way, I actually forgot, Cheng Yu changed his name."
Muttering to himself, Guo Peng laughed again.
I really didn't expect that I talked with him all night, is this a good fate?
A heaven-sent opportunity.
Will it be useful in the future?
Guo Peng didn't know.
I really don't know.
Guo Peng told Lu Zhi about the annihilation of the Yellow Turban Army in Dongjun and then continued to go south, and got Lu Zhi's order on the way, ordering Guo Peng to continue to serve as the vanguard and open the way for the army, and annihilate the Yellow Turban Army when he encountered it along the way.
The target was Nanyang, where Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun garrisoned.
At this time, it was August, because Lu Zhi had taken the lead in pacifying the Hebei Yellow Turban Army, so the pacification of the Henan Yellow Turban Army was also included in the discussion, which put great pressure on Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun.
There are even people in the DPRK who have proposed to dismiss Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song, and instead let Lu Zhi serve as the commander-in-chief to attack the Nanyang Yellow Turban Army, thanks to Zhang Wen's statement that it is very unwise to change the commander in battle, Lu Zhi is far away in Hebei, and he wants to pacify the Yellow Turban Army of Dongjun, which is not a suitable candidate.
So Emperor Ling did not dismiss Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, this news was told by Zhang Wen to Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun were uneasy, so they accelerated the offensive against Han Zhong, Sun Jian and Cao Cao were even more eager to besiege the city, but the effect was not great.
The Yellow Turban Army desperately defended the city and resisted, and the Han army was at a disadvantage and suffered a lot of losses.
On the eighth day of the eighth month of August, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun once again learned that Lu Zhi had led his troops south to Dongjun, and after preparing to eliminate the Yellow Turban Army of Dongjun, they went south to Nanyang to help in the battle, and they couldn't help but be more anxious.
Cao Cao was also very eager.
At this time, Cao Cao had already learned that after Guo Peng's battle beheaded Zhang Liang, he led his troops to attack Guangzongsheng and capture Zhang Jiao, and made the first contribution, and the credit reached the heavens.
Zhang Jiao was captured alive and sent to Luoyang, where the Spirit Emperor Long Yan Dayue personally interrogated Zhang Jiao, and then personally ordered Zhang Jiao to be punished for car splitting.
Then he also watched on the spot, pulled the captured Yellow Turban Army officers to the scene to watch the scene of Zhang Jiao being torn apart, and then ordered all these Yellow Turban officers to be beheaded, and the bodies were discarded on the side of the road, and the word "traitor" was written on it, so that the people of the world knew and warned the people of the world to be young.
And the name of Guo Peng, who captured Zhang Jiao alive, was also known to Emperor Ling.
In fact, Emperor Ling knew Guo Peng's name for a long time, but he didn't have any impression, and when he thought about it, he praised Guo Peng's youth and bravery in public, and Lu Zhi taught him well, and he was very happy.
This is tantamount to promising a bright future for both their master and apprentice.
Guo Peng was ten years younger than himself, and he made such a contribution, and he was ten years old, and he only had the merit of size, which made Cao Cao very anxious.
He led his troops to attack Nanyang City eagerly, and personally climbed the arrow tower to shoot the Yellow Turban Army in the city, but the city wall was strong, and the Yellow Turban Army was too numerous to help.
On the ninth day of the eighth month, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun climbed the nearest and highest hill in the surrounding area, observed the entire Nanyang City, and found that because the siege on all sides was too tense, the Yellow Turban Army had no way to retreat, so they desperately defended the city, and the Han army could not attack.
Originally, there was nothing to do, the key was not to let the Yellow Turban Army escape, but now there is not enough time, and you must race against time to come up with the battle results, and then you can maintain your position, so Huangfu Song and Zhu Junyi combined and decided to use the tactics of encircling three and missing one.
Give confidence to the Yellow Turbans in the city, make them sure that they have a way to live, and urge them to flee so that they can have a chance to defeat them.
So Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun ordered the troops to get out of the way of a city wall, and the defense line was withdrawn a gap, and sure enough, the Yellow Turban Army in the city immediately opened the city and fled.
Han Zhong led more than 30,000 people and his family members to flee quickly, and were attacked by the army led by Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun, Sun Jian, Cao Cao, Nanyang Taishou Qin Jie, and Jingzhou Assassin Shi Xu Xuan, and was broken and surrounded, with no way to escape.
Han Zhong had no choice but to surrender in order to save the lives of most people.
This time, Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song decided to accept surrender.
Cao Cao and Sun Jian were overjoyed, and they congratulated themselves on completing their mission and establishing meritorious deeds, and they could be rewarded.
As a result, he didn't think about it and didn't be happy for one night, and that night, Qin Jie, the Taishou of Nanyang, out of hatred for being captured where he was an official, called Han Zhong to his tent and killed him.
Because of his personal grudge, Qin Jie killed Han Zhong, which caused a great panic in the Yellow Turban Army, they quickly promoted Sun Xia to become the leader, raised the anti-flag again, and fled to Wanzhong City to defend the city, and the generals of the Han army were very speechless.
Cao Cao and Sun Jian both wanted to kill Qin Jie, and Xu Xuan, the assassin of Jingzhou, was also extremely dissatisfied with Qin Jie.
Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun jointly petitioned for the removal of Qin Jie, expelled him from the ranks of the Yellow Turbans, and confiscated his military power.
No way, let's keep fighting!
This toss, the war that could have ended before the arrival of Guo Pengshuai's vanguard army was extended again, and the Han army once again besieged Wanzhong City.
At the end of August, Guo Peng led a vanguard army of 3,000 men to the Han army camp near Wanzhong City to meet with Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun.
Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun were very enthusiastic to entertain Guo Peng, set up a banquet to celebrate his merits, and frequently persuaded him to drink during the banquet, the atmosphere was very warm, Guo Peng met Cao Cao during the banquet, and also got acquainted with Sun Jian.
After the banquet, when Guo Peng returned to the camp to rest, Cao Cao came to Guo Peng's barracks.
"Big brother, it's been a long time."
Guo Peng called Cao Ren Xiahoudun and Xiahou Yuan together to meet Cao Cao, and everyone reminisced together about the past and talked about what happened on the battlefield in Hebei.
Cao Cao looked at Guo Peng with envy, and said: "This time Zifeng has made great contributions, and he will definitely be promoted to an official position, and now Zifeng is in the position of a thousand-stone official, and after the meritorious deeds are rewarded, he will be promoted to a two-thousand-stone official, and if he doesn't do well, he can still be a marquis." ”
Brother Xiahou and Cao Ren immediately looked at Guo Peng with envious eyes.
Fenghou, how many people can't do things in their lifetime, not only opportunities, but also strength, once the marquis, is to step into the aristocratic circle, and from then on it will be completely different from the original situation.
