299 It's nice to be the boss
Han Hao strongly suggested that Guo Peng send troops to take Hanoi County.
He literally described the people of Hanoi as a terrible pervert who longed for him.
"Although Hanoi has been in war for a long time, it has been ravaged by Dong Zhuo and the Huns, and the people's livelihood has declined, but the Hanoi fathers and elders are looking forward to the arrival of the general, and the location of Hanoi County is excellent.
Guo Peng understood what Han Hao meant.
I have handed over my family to you, you should believe me, I am really willing to be the leading party, show you the way, and ensure that you can easily take Hanoi County.
Then he could directly threaten Yuan Shao's ruling core, Yecheng, from Hanoi County, so that he could not sleep well, eat well, and feel tired.
If you understand the geographical environment of Hanoi, you will know that if you take Hanoi County, you can easily threaten Yecheng, the ruling core of Jizhou.
There is no need to start from Yanzhou and cross most of Wei County to attack Yecheng, which is basically a state where the cavalry sets off in the morning and can arrive in the afternoon.
If he masters Hanoi, he will definitely make Yuan Shao crazy.
So, will it be that easy?
According to the information he has learned so far, Guo Peng learned that Yuan Shao had 10,000 troops stationed in Fanyang County and did not go south to attack Puyang.
Yuan Shao himself was not in Yecheng, but went north to Gaoyang County, probably wanting to take advantage of the opportunity when Gongsun Chan was busy suppressing the uprisings of the old sect members in various places to eliminate Gongsun Chan from behind.
Speaking of which, Guo Peng is quite happy to see it come to fruition.
He really wanted to see Yuan Shao eliminate Gongsun Zhan, and by the way, destroy the Gongsun family of the local snake in Liaodong.
It seems that Yuan Shao can't destroy the Gongsun family, and the Gongsun family is for Sima Yi to destroy.
After Gongsun Chan wrote to him to scold him for killing the whole family of the sect members ruthlessly, Gongsun Zhan also wrote a letter to explain to Guo Peng.
He said that he was a ghost, and he really didn't know how he came up with the idea of doing such a thing.
Obviously, Gongsun Chan was unwilling to lose Guo Peng's strong reinforcement, so he also moved out of his identity as a disciple of Lu Zhi, pleaded guilty to Guo Peng, and then hoped that Guo Peng could send troops north to assist him in containing Yuan Shao.
After Guo Peng read it, he burned Gongsun Zhan's letter and ignored his request for help.
As for taking Hanoi County, in Guo Peng's opinion, it is simply easy to have Han Hao, the leading party.
It's just that the chaos in Yanzhou hasn't been cleaned up yet, Guo Peng can't pull away, and he doesn't want to make trouble for Yuan Shao at this time.
Yuan Shaoxin worked hard to help him clean up the chaos in Youzhou, how could he be held back at this time?
It just so happens that Guo Peng's reasons are also very sufficient.
The chaos in the four counties needs to be cleaned up, and a large number of tuntian and displaced people need to be dealt with, and he really doesn't have time to attack Hanoi County.
But he was interested in attacking Hanoi County.
"The suffering of the elders in Hanoi, I understand, Zhang Yang does not cultivate virtue and politics, and helps Lu Butu to abuse me, and actually helps Lu Butu and my Yanzhou, at this time, I must not give up, and when I finish sorting out Yanzhou, I will definitely send troops to Hanoi, and I can't pull away at the moment, like this.
Yuanhei, you go to Guo Sima, and together with Guo Sima, discuss and study a strategy for attacking Hanoi for me, how many soldiers and horses are needed, how much grain and straw, how much is the route, etc., to be as complete and detailed as possible, I am looking forward to it. ”
Guo Peng looked at Han Hao with an expression of "you know what I mean", Han Hao was overjoyed, immediately took the order, and went to find Guo Jia with a smile.
Obviously, Han Hao found out that Guo Peng was testing his skills, to see if he had real skills, and if he had real skills, he would be entrusted with more important responsibilities.
This is his chance, and he must take it!
Han Hao was full of confidence, and took out 120,000 points of spirit to show what he had learned over the years.
Looking at his hard work, Guo felt sincerely happy.
The so-called boss moves his mouth, the employee breaks his leg, and the feeling of being the boss is really good.
Subsequently, Guo Peng led people to Puyang and met Cao Cao and Xi Zhong.
"Yuan Benchu has been stationed in Fanyang since the beginning of the war, and he does not go south or return, and his troops are stationed in Fanyang County, and the movement is strange, but according to the reconnaissance, our spies reported that Yuan Benchu's army seems to be very short of food and grass, and many soldiers go up the mountain to pick berries to satisfy their hunger.
There are also many soldiers who go down to the river to fish, some soldiers hunt and kill wild beasts, and there are also many soldiers who plunder Li Shu and rich households in groups, storm the manor and seize grain and grass, and it is very chaotic. ”
Cao Cao told Guo Peng the news of his discovery, and judged that Yuan Shao did not have the heart to go south based on the lack of food in Yuan Shao's army.
"If Yuan Benchu wants to go south to deal with Lu Bu, it is impossible not to provide enough grain and grass for the army, so Ming Gong Zhong believes that Yuan Benchu will not dare to go south to attack Yanzhou before he pacifies Gongsun Zan of Liaodong."
Xi Zhong gave a clearer judgment, judging that Yuan Shao adopted a strategy of first north and then south, first easy and then difficult, first stabilizing the rear, and then Xu Tu attacking Qingyan Erzhou.
This judgment is in line with the accurate information that Guo Peng got from the intelligence, which shows that Xi Zhong has indeed worked hard to study Yuan Shao.
"That's the case, it's good, Yanzhou is in chaos now, Han Yuansi also suggested that I attack Hanoi County, I have such an idea, but at the moment, half of Yanzhou is ruined, it needs to be rectified, and there is no enterprising strength for the time being."
Guo Peng shook his head, with a look of regret.
Then, Guo Peng introduced Zhang Liao to Cao Cao, and also introduced Cao Cao to Zhang Liao, and after that, Cao Cao and Zhang Liao were in charge of the army and jointly guarded Dongjun.
Cao Cao did not understand Guo Peng's arrangement to appoint a general as a garrison to control military power, and discussed this matter with Guo Peng in private.
"Zifeng, Zhang Wenyuan is a native of Bingzhou, a general, right now Lu Fengxian has just been defeated, Uncle Zhang Zhi is still in Hanoi County, Yuan Benchu is still eyeing Jizhou, you will appoint him as the garrison of Dongjun, isn't it too dangerous? You don't worry about him collaborating with the enemy, I still have such worries. ”
Hearing Cao Cao's concern, Guo Peng laughed and shook his head.
"Big brother, you're worried, I'm not worried, Zhang Wenyuan is not a simple martial artist, he has read books, understands reason, is it not a very difficult thing to survive in the two places of Luoyang and Chang'an, as the old department of the general?"
Cao Cao frowned and said slowly: "That's what I said, but I always feel that it's not practical, it's too risky for you to hand over the military power to a general." ”
"No, no, no."
Guo Peng also shook his head: "Zhang Wenyuan can survive in Luoyang and Chang'an, and his ability to pursue advantages and avoid disadvantages is not comparable to ordinary people, he knows the current situation better than anyone else, and even from the beginning of the war, he was not optimistic about Lu Bu, so he couldn't help attacking Yanxian."
Rao is like this, he did not betray Lu Bu and fight back, but surrendered when he had to, in this kind of world, this is human nature, Zhang Wenyuan will not fail to see the advantages of our and Yuan Benchu's disadvantages, he will do his best. ”
Cao Cao will be skeptical.
"Even so, I don't think he's someone you can trust, Zifeng, he's from Bingzhou."
"What about the people of the state? Isn't it the people of the big man? ”
Guo Peng smiled and held Cao Cao's hand: "Big brother, in this kind of world, you can't expect everyone to be as reliable as our family, everyone doesn't want to die, everyone wants to live, they want to be rich, they want power."
It is human nature to see that powerful people follow him, the original lord is decaying, and it is not strange that his subordinates scatter to change the court, and everyone cannot be expected to die for the lord, as long as they can do their part well.
Moreover, his family has been sent to Lu County, and there is an eldest brother in Dong County who is watching him for me, Zhang Wenyuan is not a stupid person, I can rest assured, here, Zhang Wenyuan will definitely not dare to make a mistake. ”
Cao Cao looked at Guo Peng for a while and smiled.
"I was born to work hard, just finished the Tuntian matter in Jinan, you let me come to Dongjun to clean up the mess, I am your brother-in-law!"
"If the eldest brother is not my brother-in-law, can I hand over such an important place in Dongjun to the eldest brother?"
Guo Peng laughed: "Right now, Yuan Shao is in the north, Zhang Yang is in the west, eldest brother, Dongjun is relying on you, without you staring at Dongjun, I don't dare to sit back and relax." ”
"You know to say good things to me, let me work hard, you can sit back and relax."
Cao Cao had a smile on his face, but he didn't see much complaint, and he seemed to be enjoying it.
