At the end of April, Guo Peng had already led the main force to advance to Zheng County and sent troops to sweep the surrounding area.

Guo Peng has always been a two-way army before, and the same is true after he set off from Hongnong County

He ordered the general Zhao Yun to lead 30,000 troops from Hebei, all the way down to Linjin County, Chongquan County, Lianlao County, and Wannian County, and the troops reached Gaoling to deter Chang'an from the north bank of Weishui.

Guo Peng himself led the main army to Zheng County, and sent the vanguard Cao Chun and Zhang He to lead the troops forward, swept the east of Bashui, and led the army to set up a large camp in Baling east of Bashui to deter Chang'an.

This is not counting, and ordered the general Cao Ren to lead an army of 30,000 to the south to attack Lantian County, conquer Lantian County, enter Duling, and threaten Chang'an from the south.

Chang'an faced enemies on three sides, and Ma Teng, Han Sui and Zhang Ji were completely dumbfounded.

In fact, things have not come to this point, but if Ma Teng Han Sui sent a few troops to resist on Guo Peng's march road, a little strength, and resisted step by step, Guo Peng would not have marched so smoothly.

They seemed to really think that the long-distance march could exhaust the spirit of the Wei army, exhaust Guo Peng's supplies, and by the way, force the deserters out, forcing Guo Peng's army to lose a large number of non-combat personnel, and then they could face a sparsely numbered and exhausted Wei army.

Without even having to face it, the Wei army directly withdrew its troops and collapsed, this battle could not be fought at all, they won without a fight.

With such thoughts, they returned to Chang'an and managed Chang'an with confidence, without caring about Guo Peng, who was approaching.

And the result?

Guo Peng arrived in Hongnong in one month, and it took nearly two months to reach the east of Bashui, pushing the battle line directly under their noses.

The 100,000-strong army has not been deterred, full of spirit, not only has its combat effectiveness not weakened, but it has also fought a victory east of Bashui-

Cao Chun, the vanguard of the Wei army, took the lead in the attack with Zhang He, and wiped out the 10,000 garrison led by Han Sui's general and son-in-law Yan Xing, and many Liangzhou soldiers were forced to flee into Bashui and were finally drowned.

Yan Xing lost his troops and fled with only a few dozen people, and suffered a crushing defeat.

Things have developed to this point purely because Ma Teng and Han Sui don't want to fight with Guo Peng, they want to preserve their strength, and they want God to help defeat Guo Peng.

In mid-April, they got information that Guo Peng was approaching the Chang'an area, but they stubbornly believed that the poor traffic conditions would force Guo Peng to death, and they didn't need to contribute.

But this was not the case, Guo Peng Shundang led an army of 100,000 to the east of Chang'an dozens of miles, looking at them with fierce eyes, making their hearts furious.

Because they believed that Guo Peng would not be able to come, they did not set up any defense facilities east of Bashui at all, nor did they send many troops, so that east of Bashui was easily occupied by Guo Peng.

It was only at this time that Ma Teng and Han Sui realized that they seemed to have made a mistake, so they hurriedly arranged the defense of Chang'an, intending to defend Chang'an.

"Even if we come here, Guo Zifeng must be a veteran of the division and tired, and he will be weak against the elite of our army, as long as we persist for a long time, Guo Zifeng will inevitably retreat, everyone does not need to panic, guard Chang'an, it will be safe!"

Ma and Han sent people to spread such news among the army, so as to motivate the army to fight hard to defend the city, not to compromise with Guo Peng, and not to abandon the city and flee back to Liangzhou.

However, in private, Ma and Han asked the defeated Yan Xing, asking him if the Wei army was tired of the old soldiers and whether it was at the end of the crossbow.

Yan Xing shook his head again and again, and said bitterly: "This is definitely not the case, the soldiers and horses are elite, full of spirit, and the battle is extremely fierce, even surpassing our army, where is this like a soldier and horse who can't eat?" Not at all! ”

Ma Teng and Yan Xing, who said this, were very unconfident in their hearts, and after thinking about it, they felt that it was inappropriate, and they felt that how could Guo Peng have such a strong logistics ability?

How much grain does he have?

Ma Teng and Han Sui couldn't understand it, and Zhang Ji couldn't understand it either, their impression of Guo Peng stayed on the word "strong", and they knew very little about the others.

They don't know how strong Guo Peng's mobilization ability is, because the times are so far away, they don't even believe that a force can have such a strong mobilization ability.

The mobilization capacity of the Qin State, including the mobilization ability of Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty, is not comparable to the current Guo Peng.

The mobilization ability of the Qin State was obtained through the Shang Dynasty's reform to sweep away the old aristocracy, and the mobilization ability of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was also obtained through the sweeping away action of the powerful and powerful by changing inaction into a promising one.

Is it possible to think that you can get it without making any changes, without putting in any effort?

No way.

Although Guo Peng's mobilization ability cannot be compared with that of the Qin State and the Western Han Dynasty during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, it is still more than enough for warlords like Shangma Teng and Han Sui.

It's almost a dimensionality reduction blow.

Although I am thousands of miles away, I will crush you too!

The only thing Guo Peng finds unpleasant is that he doesn't have enough time.

Heaven has given him too little time, if he can save for twenty years...... No, even if it is only ten years, he will not be intimidated, he will not be afraid, and he will not worry that he will not be able to open up two battlefields at the same time.

It's a pity that he doesn't have enough time and doesn't have that much time to accumulate.

So he decided to take this evil breath out on Ma Teng and Han Sui.

First, it violently crushed the 10,000 Liangzhou troops on the east bank of Bashui, and then marched westward, attacking Chang'an on three sides, and suppressed Ma Teng Hansui's army in the surrounding areas of Chang'an.

In this land where there are no people, the supply of the army is very problematic.

Although at Zhang Ji's suggestion, Ma Teng and Han Sui sent troops to reclaim some land around Chang'an, intending to build a military camp, but now is obviously not the harvest season, not to mention the autumn grain, even the summer grain cannot be harvested, so naturally they cannot support the war.

Facing the menacing Wei army, Ma Teng and Han Sui were completely dumbfounded.

But don't really say it, there are really people who don't believe in evil and think that the Wei army is just like this, and it is not impossible to defeat.

Ma Chao invited 20,000 troops, and with his subordinate generals Pang De and his younger brothers Ma Dai, Ma Xiu and Ma Tie, he decided to lead the army out of the city to challenge Guo Peng.

Ma Teng thought about it and felt unreliable, so he left Ma Xiu and Ma Tie behind, and asked Ma Chao to take Pang De and Ma Dai out to try.

Han Sui also took into account that Ma Chao was young and lacked experience in commanding troops, so he personally served as the coach to suppress the formation for Ma Chao and stabilize the military formation for him when necessary, Ma Teng said that he could.

So Han Sui took Ma Chao, Pang De and Ma Dai to lead the army out of the city, and collided with the army that Guo Peng personally led to attack Chang'an City, and the battle between the two armies was about to break out.

Guo Peng brought 30,000 soldiers and horses to attack the city, in fact, he came to test the water and see the strength of the city's defense and defenders, so he did not mobilize Zhao Yun and Cao Ren's army.

Seeing the battle flag on the opposite side with the words "horse", "Han" and "Pang", Guo Peng guessed that there should be Han Sui and Pang De among the other party's generals, as for this horse, it can be a lot of horses, Ma Teng, Ma Chao, Ma Dai, Ma Tie Ma Xiu, etc., all of them can be counted.

I don't know which one it is.

However, Guo Peng raised the banners of "Wei" and "Han" one after another to show his presence to the enemy army on the opposite side.

The soldiers from Wangyuan came back to report the situation, Han Sui was taken aback, and said to Ma Chao: "Meng Qi, Guo Zifeng may have personally led the troops." ”

"Guo Zifeng is here in person? Great, I'm worried about whether I can meet Guo Zifeng! ”

Ma Chao not only did not panic, but was eager to try and was very happy.

It seems that Guo Peng's prestige is not enough to surprise Ma Chao at all, on the contrary, it can also stimulate Ma Chao's strong will to fight.

Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, and Ma Chao, who is smooth sailing, faces the veteran powerhouse Guo Peng, which is full of desire to challenge.
