225 Can they still call themselves Hanchen?
"Fighting?"
Hearing Guo Peng talk about the princes of the alliance in the sour jujube camp, Bao Xin was surprised.
"Yes, Liu Dai, the assassin of Yanzhou, and Dongjun Taishou Qiaomao, fought, the two completely ignored the covenant and fought directly in the sour date, it is said that Qiaomao did not obey the order of Liu Dai, who was the assassin, Liu Dai was angry and ordered an attack.
At the moment, it seems that Liu Dai has the upper hand, Qiao Mao is a little dangerous, and then because of the lack of food, the rest of the troops sent people to loot food everywhere, Chen Liutai guarded Zhang Miao was very angry, and sent troops to defend the county seats, Chen Liujun was in chaos, and the alliance had already existed in name only. ”
Guo Peng held a military meeting in his tent and told his aides and senior officers about the incident.
In the end, Guo Peng concluded: "Therefore, in fact, we have no logistics, our food can no longer be replenished, there are not many people in the sour jujube camp, everyone is working hard for their own food, who can take care of us?" ”
After Guo Peng summed up, the camp fell into a deathly silence.
"It's all come to this point, as long as Gongxian is attacked, Luoyang is close at hand, and the national thieves are close at hand, and now, we have no food?"
Leaning less, Bao Tao said with an unbelievable expression: "The cause of courting Dong has not been completed, and they actually killed each other?" Dong Zhuo is right in front of him, and they actually fight among themselves over a trivial matter? ”
Guo Jia and Xi Zhong frowned tightly and said nothing, and the generals in the tent each had shock and puzzlement on their faces.
"This is the case, right now, our army has only about twenty days of food stockpiles."
Guo Peng sighed: "Food is the life of the army, without food, how can you fight?" Asking for Dong Daye, is it actually regarded as child's play by them? Ridiculous......"
And all the people in the tent had very bad complexions.
Suddenly, Wei Zi spoke: "General, can't we still contact Yuan Highway?" Yuan Highway is stationed in Luyang, and we crossed Yingchuan to ask Yuan Highway for some grain and grass, how about it? ”
Guo Jia immediately shook his head.
"No, even if Yuan Highway agrees to support our grain and grass, this grain road is far from mentioning, and it is not safe, once it is discovered by Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo can send troops to cut off our grain road at any time.
Once this new grain route is cut off, we really have nothing to do, and if there is no other way, it is better to cut off and withdraw the troops now, rather than withdraw at that time. ”
"Withdraw now?"
Weiz stood up suddenly: "Then what are we fighting so hard for?" Seeing that the national thief is in front of you, but now you want to withdraw your troops? Are so many lives given away in vain? ”
Zhang Fei is very supportive of Weiz's view.
"Yes, General, you can't withdraw now! Otherwise, wouldn't all our brothers have died in vain? ”
"But if we don't withdraw our troops, how can we solve the food problem?"
Guo Jia said with an extremely calm face: "Even if you put grain to the soldiers with Xiaohu, it will last for a month at most, the enemy's grain route is unblocked, although the city wall of Gongxian County is not tall and deep, but if more than 10,000 enemy troops hold on, can we really break through Gongxian within a month?" ”
Weizi and Zhang Fei opened their mouths, not knowing what to say.
It is very difficult to capture the city.
If you don't eat, you can't live.
Everyone was silent, and then looked at Guo Peng in unison.
It's time for Guo Peng to make a final decision.
Guo Peng took a deep breath and slowly stood up.
"I raised the army in order to crusade against the national thief Dong Zhuo, in order to welcome back the Son of Heaven to Luoyang, stabilize the world, so that the world will not be in turmoil, so that the people of the world do not have to suffer from displacement, so I am dedicated to entering the army, bent on begging for thieves, and have no time to care about others.
But I never imagined that in the eyes of some people, the crusade against the national thief is just an excuse, and the fight we are waiting for is just a futile joke, they don't care whether the national thief is defeated or not, they only care whether their desires are satisfied! ”
Guo Peng raised his voice violently: "It's all a bunch of bastards!" Everyone who reads poetry and books is known as a celebrity, but he receives such a great favor from the country but does not think about reciprocating, and he speaks the words of a saint, but in fact, his desire is difficult to fill! Can they still call themselves Hanchen? ”
Guo Peng took a few heavy breaths and closed his eyes.
"Ming Gong ......"
Xi Zhong stepped forward: "Ming Gong, although the current situation is dangerous, it is not completely impossible. ”
"What's the solution?"
Guo Peng immediately asked.
"Divide the troops, go south, attack the Wu clan, and then attack the Dagu clan through the Wu clan, attack from behind, break the Dagu Pass, and join forces with Sun Jian, the general of the Yuan Shu Department, and drive directly to Luoyang! Then the defense of Gong County will be meaningless, and the overall situation has been decided! ”
Xi Zhong opened his mouth to tell Guo Peng what he was thinking, and also told the senior officers present.
After listening, everyone did not speak for a long time.
"Zhicai, this is a dangerous move, if you can't successfully attack the Wu clan and the Otani Pass, the situation of that army will be very dangerous."
Guo Peng looked at Xi Zhong.
"Soldiers are impermanent, water is impermanent, we want to win, the other party may not want to, Ming Gong, this time we really have no other way, if you don't try, it's better to withdraw the army as soon as possible, there is no food and grass, it's really not child's play."
After Xi Zhong finished speaking, he stopped talking, and just looked at Guo Peng.
Others also looked at Guo Peng.
Guo Peng narrowed his eyes and thought carefully.
"Gentlemen, it's all come to this point, and I'm not willing to withdraw my troops like this."
Guo Peng's words can be regarded as setting the tone.
"I am not willing to withdraw my troops!"
Weeds was the first to respond.
"It's the same with flying!"
Zhang Fei responded secondly.
Later, the generals responded, and Gongsun Chan once again asked to take on this responsibility.
So everyone decided to adopt Xi Zhong's strategy and take a risk.
In fact, it cannot be said that it is risky, strictly speaking, every military operation is an adventure, but this time it is a little more dangerous.
This time, Guo Peng did not agree to Gongsun Zhan, but decided to carry out this task by himself, personally led the elite soldiers of his headquarters, and launched a surprise attack with the fastest speed, catching Dong Zhuo off guard.
Guo Peng decided to lead his headquarters to guard Cao Chunbu, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and five thousand elite raids on the Wu clan, and by the way, he also brought Guo Jia.
Then the main force was left behind, led by Bao Xin, Xi Zhong was the military advisor, and Gongsun Zhan was responsible for the front-line command.
Zhao Yun, Guo Lie, Gongsun Yue Weizi and others stayed behind to assist and continue to attack Gongxian to attract their attention.
On September 24, Guo Peng took advantage of the night to lead his troops to leave the Gongxian camp and led his troops to the town of Wushi.
Early in the morning of the 25th, Guo Peng led the army to attack and break through the town of Wushi, killing more than 1,000 defenders, and then rushed to Dagu Pass non-stop.
At that time, Sun Jian was leading his troops to storm Dagu Pass, taking advantage of sufficient logistics supplies and Dong Zhuo's main force being pinned down by Guo Peng, suppressing the defenders of Dagu Pass, and fighting Dagu Pass was full of dangers.
But the Otani Pass defenders never imagined that their real trouble was still to come.
