Blind benevolence is seen by the soldiers as weakness, unable to control people, and once something happens, the army will collapse immediately.

Blindly being strict is desperate in the eyes of the soldiers, they will be resentful, and it will not last long, Zhang Fei will end.

The combination of grace and power is very effective.

The three heads and the blood all over the ground shocked everyone, and they all realized that everything the young officer said was not false.

He does what he says, he lives and dies together when he says he lives and dies together, and he kills people when he says he kills.

They had an initial understanding of Guo Peng.

In the next few days, all the training and running-in were carried out step by step, and when Lu Zhi came to inspect, he saw that the cavalry of Guo Peng's department was neat and meticulous, and he was very satisfied.

"I heard you killed someone?"

"Yes, there are three people who can't stand the military diet, so they want to leave, the students have already made a rule before, those who want to leave can leave at that time, stay and never want to leave, the rules are the rules, and those who violate the military regulations will be killed."

"Okay, that's the way to go."

Lu Zhi looked at his disciple with great satisfaction, nodded his head repeatedly, and said again: "In a few days, at the latest twenty days, it will be time to leave the school, we should arrive in the area of Yecheng in Wei County should be in early April, and there are more than 100,000 Yellow Turban thieves there, are you afraid?" ”

"I'm afraid."

Guo Peng made no secret of it.

Lu Zhi smiled dumbly: "As a teacher, I thought you would say that you were not afraid." ”

"Fear is fear, there is nothing to be hard said, but students also have the determination to completely polish the fear in their hearts on the battlefield."

Lu Zhi's face became serious.

"Okay, this is my Lu Zigan's student, I'm not ashamed to be afraid, everyone has times when they are afraid, but whether they can overcome fear is the time to really see a person's character, Zifeng, the teacher has expectations for you, don't let the teacher down."

"Yes!"

Lu Zhi smiled and nodded, instructed Guo Peng a few words, and left.

After that, Guo Peng learned the final order to go out on March 20.

Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty ordered the army to be reorganized a little, and then it was necessary to go out on an expedition to suppress the rebellion of the Yellow Turban thieves of Taiping Road as quickly as possible and restore the peace of the world.

At this time, the Han court had learned that the rebellious Taiping Daoists were all wrapped in yellow turbans, so they called them yellow turban thieves, ant thieves, etc., and announced that Zhang Jiao, Zhang Liang, Zhang Bao and other Taiping Dao leaders were rebellious, and called on the people of the world to crusade against them.

On 19 March, Lu Zhifa issued an order to Guo Peng, telling him to lead the Changshui cavalry to follow his Chinese army and obey his direct command.

The whole army was divided into three parts, the front army and the rear army, and Lu Zhi asked two deputy generals to lead the front army and the rear army, and he personally led the middle army.

On 20 March, the whole army set out.

Guo Peng didn't say goodbye to anyone, and there was no need to say goodbye, he had already said what he should have said, and continuing to say it was just adding to his troubles.

He just hopes that he can return to Luoyang alive, return home alive, see his wife and son alive, and make the family alive to the end.

It's not simple.

The oath-taking meeting is over, the auspicious time has arrived, and the whole army is on the march.

Lu Zhi led his army to the north to defeat the main force of the Yellow Turban Army, and Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun led his army to the south to defeat the Yellow Turban Army's troops in Qingzhou and Yanzhou, Yuzhou.

At this time, the Yellow Turban Army seemed to echo the north and south, like two fists, the left and right fists attacked at the same time, and used a powerful boxing in the direction of Luoyang.

The Han government army had to face each other, fist to fist, and the Yellow Turban Army was just facing each other.

It seems difficult, because the number of 340,000 of the Yellow Turban Army is far more than the 60,000 counterinsurgency Han army, but the 60,000 counterinsurgency Han army is only the Central Army and the temporarily expanded Central Army, and the 300,000 or 400,000 people of the Yellow Turban Army still have to be counted together with their families.

After more than two months of expansion and the absorption of civilians to join, at present, the number of capable soldiers is definitely no more than 150,000.

In addition to the central army, the Han government also had the cooperation of local rebels.

After the initial panic, the local heroes also spontaneously organized to fight the Yellow Turban Army for the sake of protecting their own industry.

After the initial smooth progress, the Yellow Turban Army also fell into the vast sea of the "People's War".

In ancient times, the so-called people were definitely not people in the modern sense, but people who had local industries.

Large landlords, small landlords, or landed yeoman farmers, they are the "people", and they are often the staunchest supporters of the regime, they have property, and they want peace in the world the most.

Those who have no industry and go into exile are often the main force of rebellion, all of them are outcasts, and if they do not rebel and cause chaos, they will starve to death, so they are not even qualified to be "people".

The Yellow Turbans united with these people who lost their industries and were about to starve to death, and naturally met with strong resistance from the "people".

The interests of the "people" and the Han government are identical.

Therefore, on the whole, the number of soldiers and horses on the side of the Han government was much greater than the number of the Yellow Turban Army.

However, it can't be determined like this and let down its vigilance, the Yellow Turban Army will loot the rich and powerful to open warehouses and release grain when they reach a place, attracting more people to join, and the number may increase at any time.

Time will tell.

But there is only one thing that will not change.

The Yellow Turban Army, abandoned by the power of the scholars, has become an outcast, just doing a useless struggle, and will perish sooner or later.

Guo Peng led his 514 cavalry to follow Lu Zhi's footsteps in the Chinese army, to help Lu Zhi convey military orders, Guo Peng followed Lu Zhi's side, and was directly responsible for protecting his safety as Lu Zhi's direct confidants.

There are not a lot of cavalry under Lu Zhi, the number is about 3,000, and it will be the main force to break through the formation, and it should not be difficult to deal with the Yellow Turban Army infantry who lack cavalry as a battlefield killing weapon.

In fact, after fully understanding the activities of the Yellow Turban Army, Guo Peng has already made a judgment that this battle is not difficult to fight.

It seems to be difficult to fight, because the imperial court was frightened by the momentum of hundreds of thousands of people in the Yellow Turban Army in Bazhou, and a careful analysis can find that it is not like that.

The government has an advantage against the rebels, and the rebels cannot mobilize the resources that the government can mobilize.

The government has a righteous name, but the rebels do not.

After the party was lifted, the local nobles generally chose to cooperate with the government rather than the rebel army.

Besides, the rebellious Yellow Turban Army had no basic base, could not produce, and relied entirely on destruction, and all food was obtained by plunder, and if they did not grow themselves, it would be difficult to continue.

Ring-headed knives, bows, arrows, spears, halberds, tents and other military materials must be produced, and the Han government can do it, but the Yellow Turban Army can't do it.

Moreover, at this time, the Yellow Turban Army had lost the help of a unified planning group, and the existing leadership was not reliable after the nobles withdrew halfway.

Guo Peng believes that Zhang Jiao does not have such a strong ability to command so many Yellow Turban troops to fight together.

Since the Yellow Turban Army's operation, they have been fighting everywhere in the area where they broke out, seemingly encircling Luoyang, but in fact there has been no progress.

Zhang Jiao, as the leader of the uprising, should have coordinated the various Yellow Turban Corps to cooperate with each other, but he did not.

He was active in Jizhou from beginning to end, and did not command and mobilize the Yellow Turban Army south of the Yellow River, so he did not look like a qualified rebel leader at all.

I don't know if I don't have the mind to transfer, or if I want to transfer but I have the powerlessness.

After all, some people don't necessarily listen to him.

Zhang Jiao is not qualified.
