The reason for this crusade is very simple, Guo Peng has no problem with what crime he wants to give them, the initiative is his, and there is no excuse for the crime he wants to add.

Any old accounts can be turned over, or tossed for any reason, anyway, he just wants to get rid of the Southern Huns.

For this reason, Guo Peng sent someone to contact Nanlou and ordered Nanlou to send 30,000 troops to assist him in fighting the Southern Xiongnu.

He ordered Nanlou to lead the army to Taiyuan County to make peace with him, and the army would march from Taiyuan County to attack the Southern Xiongnu Shan Yuting in Meiji.

At present, Guo Peng only occupies four counties, that is, Xihe County where Zhang Yan served as the Taishou, Shangdang County where Lu Qian served as the Taishou, and Taiyuan County where Guo Peng's own son Guo Yi served as the Taishou, and after these three counties were consolidated, Guo Peng ordered Zhang Yan to lead the army to advance the Shangjun.

Shangjun is also a typical sparsely populated border county, after occupying, Guo Peng to his own son Guo Fan as the guard, the then Yingyang Zhonglang will now be the Yingyang general Cao Xing as a garrison, moving 100,000 fugitives in the mountains to enrich the population of Shangjun, reclaiming wasteland, and rebuilding.

In addition, the five counties of Yanmen, Dingxiang, Yunzhong, Wuyuan, and Shuofang were not under the control of Guo Peng, but under the influence of the Southern Xiongnu.

The population of the Southern Xiongnu far exceeds that of the Han people living there, if there are still Han people living in the area.

Their encroachment on border counties can be seen.

Faced with this situation, Guo Peng realized that he could not continue to connive at these people to continue to develop their power in Bingzhou, otherwise sooner or later the entire Bingzhou would be controlled by the Southern Xiongnu, so he decisively decided to die.

Guo Peng ordered Shangdang County of Xihe County to transport the accumulated military rations to Taiyuan County, and ordered the military rations stored in Jizhou to be transported to Taiyuan County, and ordered Taiyuan Taishou Guo Yi and Taiyuan Garrison Guo Dong to prepare for the arrival of the army in Taiyuan County for battle.

At the same time, Nanlou received Guo Peng's order, and Guo Peng ordered Nanlou to quickly lead 30,000 cavalry to Taiyuan County to join him and defeat the Southern Xiongnu who were not subordinate.

Nanlou did not dare to slack off, and immediately mobilized his people, reorganized 30,000 cavalry, led by him personally, and advanced to Taiyuan County.

Although Nanlou's age is not young, it is about Guo Peng, and he must go into battle in person, because this time it is Guo Peng himself who goes into battle.

Guo Peng will lead an army of 50,000 to defeat the Southern Xiongnu as the Duke of Wei and the general of the Han chariot cavalry.

This time, he discharged a lineup of 30,000 infantry troops and 20,000 cavalry, and when the army of Nanlou arrived, it was 30,000 infantry troops and 50,000 cavalry, with a strong lineup.

"I'm going on the expedition, and the rest of the government affairs will be handed over to Zhongde, Zhongde will manage the rear for me, and if you have any problems, come and ask me again."

"Yes."

Cheng Yu nodded, and then took the remaining subordinates to send Guo Peng off on the expedition.

None of them would have doubted that this was yet another victory.

Victory can bring something that the loser will never be able to experience.

They did their best to raise logistics for Guo Peng, looking forward to the news of the victory.

And the five counties in the north of the state, Guo Peng is bound to win.

On this expedition, Guo Peng took Guo Jia and Xun You as the masterminds, and brought the new generals of the Wei Quartet, Cao Ren, Xiahou Yuan, Zhao Yun, Le Jin, and Cao Hong, Cao Xiu, Cao Chun, three relatives generals, as well as optimistic Zhang He, Xu Huang, Gao Lan, Zhu Ling and others.

Xu Huang, the general who picked up a life at the beginning, still reflected his role in the war, made contributions in the war against Yuan Shu, and was promoted to lieutenant.

This time, Guo Peng named Xu Huang to bring him by his side, which made Xu Huang feel flattered.

Accompanied by a large group of generals and being taken by Guo Peng, Xu Huang always felt that all this was not real.

Seeing the strange gazes of the generals, Xu Huang felt a little scared.

He didn't know why Guo Peng paid attention to himself.

"Why do you look like you can't give up?"

Guo Peng rode on the horse, turned his head to look at Xu Huang with empty eyes, and asked with a smile.

"No...... No, no, there is no soul in the subordinates. ”

Xu Huang hurriedly denied it.

"I'm giving you a chance, Komei, you have to take advantage of this opportunity, this kind of opportunity is not available to everyone."

Guo Peng reminded Xu Huang with a smile, and Xu Huang immediately stated that he would never have any problems.

"You have cooperated with the people of the Southern Huns and fought together, what are their characteristics?"

Guo Peng asked.

"Features...... Fierce, brave, murderous, superb horsemanship, especially good at riding and shooting, and other ...... It's nothing, the men and horses under the command of Duke Wei are well-trained, not inferior to the Southern Hun cavalry, and with the help of Karasuma cavalry, the Huns will not be the opponent of Duke Wei. ”

Xu Huang recalled his past career a little.

"Of course they are not my opponents, but my enemies are not only the Huns."

Guo Peng smiled: "Gongming, I have a lot of enemies, you have to grow up quickly, let me see your achievements, and then, go and sweep away more enemies for me." ”

Is this a promise of a future?

Xu Huang was overjoyed and looked at Guo Peng with a happy face.

In mid-September, Guo Peng led the army to Taiyuan County, and Guo Peng appointed Zang Hong, the assassin of Bingzhou, took Guo Yi, the guard of Taiyuan County, and Guo Dong, the garrison of Taiyuan, out of the city to greet him, and then Guo Peng entered the city and ordered the army to enter the barracks prepared by Guo Yi and Guo Dong.

"There are still three days to arrive in Taiyuan, and now our army is ready to attack, the route of the march has been explored, and the Southern Xiongnu Shan Yuting seems to have received some news."

"Is the news coming from us?"

Guo Peng looked at Zang Hong.

Zang Hong shook his head.

"According to the insider, it was spread from the department of the difficult building, these Hu people don't know what secrecy is, once they act, the scale is very large, and they have the habit of being meticulous with each other, and each other's actions can be known to each other, so let them keep it secret, don't even think about it."

"It doesn't matter, so what? Can they still disobey me? ”

Guo Peng opened his mouth and said: "There are more than 200,000 people in the Southern Xiongnu army, and there are at most 50,000 soldiers, even if you count the Karasuma people and the rest of the Zahu who do not listen to the orders of Nanlou in the land of the five counties, he will not be able to gather 70,000 troops. ”

This is true, so Zang Hong is not worried that his group of people will not be able to give the Southern Xiongnu a good look.

"Since we changed the original Southern Xiongnu Lao Wang to Guiyi Shan Yu, the Southern Xiongnu has been almost integrated internally, and the part that originally belonged to Fuluo was annexed and disintegrated by Guiyi Shan Yu, and he can now fully control the entire Southern Xiongnu tribes."

"The best."

Guo Peng nodded: "I hope that they will directly press all their forces over, and have a decisive battle, the victory or defeat will be determined in a battle, so as to save them from running everywhere, we will chase everywhere, and the casualties of the pursuit may be greater than the casualties of the frontal battle." ”

Everyone agrees with Guo Peng's point of view and feels that what Guo Peng said is right.

Now in autumn, the weather has not yet turned cold, it is the cool time, Guo Peng plans to end the Southern Xiongnu formation resistance within a month, enter the final link, and integrate the entire annex within this year.

Next year, there is something else to do.
