872 Guo Peng's goal is big

On the military front, Guo Peng officially ordered Zhenbei General Yu Ban to be transferred to Zhengbei General on the first day of September, as the commander-in-chief of the military operation, and Pingbei General Zhang Fei as the deputy commander of the military operation.

The Dinghai general Tai Shici is also the deputy commander of this military trip, but he acts alone, and the goal is to completely occupy the Korean Peninsula, and he does not need to meet the ban, and he can complete his own task.

In this military operation, Guo Peng will requisition 30,000 troops from the newly established Guangyang battalion, as well as 10,000 elite cavalry under Zhang Fei who specially pit the Xianbei tribe, and 10,000 garrisons from Liaoxi County under Tian Yu, with a total of 50,000 people.

That is to say, Yu Ban can command the main force of up to 50,000 soldiers to launch a full-scale offensive against Liaodong, depending on the situation, if the situation is not good, he can send additional troops at any time.

Guo Peng ordered Zhang Fei to be the vanguard, and he would lead 10,000 elite cavalry under his command to arrive at Liaoxi County to meet Tian Yu, and then become the vanguard with Tian Yu.

The 20,000 troops will directly detour through the northern grassland, break through the grassland into Xuansu County, and attack Xuansu County.

The 20,000-strong Taeshi-ci Navy Headquarters naturally attacked the land of Samhan directly, destroyed Samhan, destroyed Hae, and went north along the Korean Peninsula to occupy the Korean Peninsula.

There are also people who propose that Karasuma Dadan can send 20,000 troops to Nanlou, which belongs to the forbidden command, but after learning the news that Nanlou is sick, Guo Peng dispelled this idea.

This war is the same as the previous crusade against Jiangdong, it is also a joint operation of sea and land, and a three-way attack, so that Gongsun Du is lacking in skills, and he is unable to deal with the enemy.

It is also necessary to destroy all the foreign regimes in the northeast that have had a good relationship with Gongsun Du for several years, and directly bring this land under rule.

This is Guo someone's ambition, a clear proof that the Guo Wei Empire has reached a higher level, and it is the charge of the prosperous era!

In addition to these, Guo Peng also thought about it for a while, and sent someone to call Guo Jin, who was doing the county order outside Luoyang.

He decided to involve Guo Jin in this military operation.

Take his friends to Yu Ban's side, go to the battlefield as Yu Ban's own soldiers, and feel what the real war looks like.

"You are already twenty years old, and this war is also very necessary for you, because you started in the army for your father, and fought for many years to have today's status, so you know that force is the foundation of power, and without force, there is no power.

Although you have experience in politics, you have no experience in the army, and you don't think it's appropriate for your father, so this time you have to go, of course, don't make a noise, you bring someone yourself, and your father will tell General Yu that you don't reveal your identity. ”

Guo Peng patted Guo Jin on the shoulder.

Guo Jin nodded, indicating that he understood.

"My son will not disgrace his father."

"Being a father is not for you to go to war, you won't fight, the important thing is to watch more, listen and learn more, be humble, respect General Yu like a teacher, feel how General Yu commanded the battle, and how cruel the battlefield is, which is completely different from taking you to visit the barracks for your father."

Guo Peng opened his mouth and said: "This time you go, take all the people around you with you, let them accompany you, you go to the battlefield together, feel it together, it will be good for you." ”

"Yes."

Guo Jin took the order.

So Guo Jin gathered his friends, Lu Yu, Cao Tai, Cao Zhen, Xiahou Heng, Xiahou Shang, and Lu Yi, as well as Guan Ping, who was serving in the guards, there must always be someone who has actual military experience to give you a little advice.

In order to further protect this group of juniors, Guo Peng also sent fifty soldiers of the first squad of the most elite forbidden army around him to follow.

A group of small characters put on their helmets and armor under Guo Jin's summoning, and with a little excitement, they rode their horses to Youzhou.

asked Guo Jin to hide his identity and go to the forbidden army, Cao Lan also had a very rare quarrel with Guo Peng, saying that Guo Peng didn't take his son to heart.

Guo Peng was very helpless, so he had to hug Cao Lan and explain to her.

"Back then, I joined the army at the age of nineteen, and in the first battle, I followed my teacher to crusade against the Yellow Turban Thieves, and I was covered in blood in the first battle, and I almost didn't slow down, and then I was very nervous when I led the soldiers to fight a group of Yellow Turban Thieves for the first time, for fear that I would not be able to beat those Yellow Turban Thieves.

With the first time, there is the next me, and we are today, Ah Jin is the one who wants to inherit my position, I don't ask him to be able to lead the army like me, and I don't dare to risk his life, but he must at least understand what war is. ”

Guo Peng said this, Cao Lan reluctantly accepted Guo Peng's statement, but she was still worried about her son's safety day and night, Guo Peng had no choice but to sleep with her every night and comfort her.

The military operation has already mobilized 70,000 men so far.

Counting the large-scale logistics personnel, especially the sea transportation requires more logistics personnel, so no matter what, you can get the level of 200,000.

At this order of magnitude, this offensive strategy, the staff officers of the Guo Wei Empire did not believe that the Gongsun regime had the ability to resist at all.

In the mouths of intelligence officers, the Gongsun regime did not even think that the Wei Empire would strike at them at this time.

None of this counts, Yizhou's million population and terrain could not resist a single onslaught of the Wei Empire, let alone this secessionist regime that was inferior to Liu Zhang in the eyes of the staff team.

Yizhou's geographical superiority in defensive warfare absolutely surpasses Liaodong's geographical superiority in defensive warfare.

In terms of population, according to the intelligence transmitted by the secret agents of the Linzi camp, the Gongsun regime divided the bitter cold land of Liaodong, and the Han population they controlled was indeed not small, but it was not much more.

The number of people who have been conquered and plundered over the years, plus the number of immigrants who have not returned to the Central Plains and decided to settle in Liaodong, is about 400,000.

In fact, they shouldn't have only that large population.

The outbreak of the Yellow Turban Rebellion in the sixth year of the former Han Dynasty and the third year and fourth year of the Zhongping Dynasty caused a large number of people in the Central Plains, especially in Qingxu Prefecture, to flee to Liaodong for several years in order to seek stability.

If Guo Peng had not come out of nowhere to sweep the Yellow Turban and stabilize the Central Plains as soon as possible, this number would continue to rise, so that during the period of Yuan Cao's struggle, there were more than 100,000 soldiers under Gongsun Kang, which shows that the population of Liaodong at that time definitely reached the level of more than one million.

However, the Chinese have always relocated to their homeland, their hometowns are chaotic, people will flee, and when their hometowns are stable, the population will return.

Therefore, until Sima Yi's crusade against Liaodong, Liaodong actually experienced a long process of population loss, and the Gongsun regime continued to lose the population of the Central Plains, so that after Sima Yi's successful crusade against Liaodong, he only got about 300,000 Liaodong population.

And the appearance of Guo Peng made Liaodong not get so many people at all.

Since he occupied Qingyan Erzhou, the political situation in Qingyan Erzhou has been very stable, and there is a large-scale implementation of the policy of granting land and tuntian, and the people's livelihood is stable.

Zheng Xuanguan, Ning Guoyuan and others fled to Liaodong during that period and then returned, and this process was unstoppable by Gongsun Du.

Or that Gongsun Du tried to stop it, but the effect was not very good, and he didn't succeed, so he simply gave up.

Homesick people can't stop them from wanting to return to their hometowns.

So at present, the population controlled by Gongsun Du is an order of magnitude lower than that of Liu Zhang, and this level of power is really not worth the Guo Wei regime to use 200,000 troops and logistics personnel to participate in the war.

It's just that Guo Peng's goal is big, not just to destroy Gongsun Du, but to occupy the entire Liaodong.

It is necessary to destroy all the alien regimes that have formed in Liaodong, such as the Buyeo Kingdom and the Goguryi Kingdom.

It is also necessary to expand the Great Wall, completely incorporate the Liaodong region into the rule of the Guo Wei Empire, and immigrate here in the future.

This is not the same concept as attacking Gongsun Du.

Although the Gongsun regime is indeed not weak.
