Guo Peng thought carefully and felt that Guo Jia made sense, so he accepted Guo Jia's advice, stopped marching, and did not launch an attack immediately.

Later, Guo Jia sent spies to investigate the distribution of the Yellow Turban Army's troops and terrain, and constantly deduced them on the sand table with a group of generals, believing that this battle was not so easy to fight.

The Yellow Turban Army has reached the critical moment of life and death. The so-called "worry soldiers will win". If they advance rashly, they may be in danger of defeat. Even if they win, they may be a miserable victory, which is not in line with Guo Peng's interests.

Guo Jia suggested to speak with him, under this extreme state, he would force them to surrender with extreme pressure, so that their entire army would surrender to Guo Peng and defeat the enemy without fighting.

Guo Peng refused.

He remembered what kind of distress the so-called Qingzhou soldiers had brought to the rulers, and felt that it was impossible to do so.

"We must defeat the leader of the Yellow Turban thief, behead them all, and remove them, and then we can forgive the prisoners of war and incorporate them into the civilian households to farm. The Yellow Turban thieves can forgive, and those who lead the instigation must be executed and cannot show mercy."

Guo Jia felt embarrassed.

"If we must kill the other party's leader, the other party will definitely fight to the death. The battle of trapped beasts is not a good thing for our army. I hope the general will be careful."

Guo Peng grinned.

"Have I said I'd like to make them trapped beasts fight?"

"Um?"

Guo Jia looked confused.

"I thought of a solution."

Guo Peng narrowed his eyes and ordered Guo Jia to investigate the distribution of the Yellow Turban Army.

Despite this, Guo Jia still believes that persuading surrender is the best way to do so.

You can take Yanzhou without spending one soldier and a large number of soldiers, so why not do it?

When Guo Jia went to investigate the distribution of the Yellow Turban Army's troops, Guo Peng received a letter from Xi Zhong.

Xi Zhong, who was stationed in Gang County, also suggested that Guo Peng persuade the Yellow Turban Army to surrender and make it a force for Guo Peng, but was also rejected by Guo Peng.

"They can persevere here, which shows how firm their will is. Even if they surrender temporarily, it may not be a temporary measure. They must not surrender in an established manner. They must be defeated until they collapse. Otherwise, even if their army surrenders, they will inevitably form forces of all sizes and big things, making me afraid to do anything."

Guo Peng wrote back to Xi Zhong and ordered Xi Zhong and Cao Ren to stand by, not to persuade him to surrender or attack him, waiting for his news.

A few days later, Guo Jia's information was sent.

"At present, the Yellow Turban Army of Dongping and Rencheng countries has basically concentrated in Fan County and Ningyang County, and cooperated with each other. Fan County was headed by Xu He and Guan Hai, and Ningyang County was headed by Sima Ju and Guan Cheng."

Seeing that there was no one else in the tent, Guo Jia whispered: "Brother, there are many Yellow Turban thieves at present, but they are in danger. If you force them to surrender with the threat of great victory, you may not be able to succeed. The military strategy is over, so don't chase the enemy. This is exactly the case."

"If you don't pursue the enemy, you're just afraid of being bitten by the enemy. Even the enemy dares to chase and kill him. Can you do a big thing? Besides reducing casualties, is there anything worthy of praise? If you don't kill all the enemy, there will be endless troubles!"

After being glared at by Guo Peng, Guo Jia immediately didn't know what to say.

"Welfare in filial piety, don't stick to military tactics, you must transcend military tactics and let military tactics be used by you, rather than being trapped by military tactics. Remember not to stick to the rules!"

"But if this happens, you will not be able to fight head-on. The Yellow Turban thieves have the strength of me. If they fight head-on, the losses will be unpredictable."

Guo Jia still seems to disagree with Guo Peng's idea.

"If we can defeat the enemy in one fell swoop, there will be no future troubles, and some losses will not be unacceptable. It is better than being unable to deal with it by them. Letting them surrender in an established manner and retaining their power is equivalent to independence among our army. How can I allow it?

Fengxiao, you remember that once you miss a chance to win and destroy the enemy in one fell swoop, the enemy will be resurrected. Once the Jedi is resurrected and wants to strike again, it will be difficult. It will be too late to regret it at that time!"

Guo Jia thought for a moment, frowned and asked, "What are you going to do with that brother?"

"That's how it works."

Guo Peng raised a roll of bamboo slips and handed them to Guo Jia. Guo Jia opened them and saw them, and was stunned.

Strictly speaking, this is a letter.

But it seemed like a very strange greeting letter to Xu He, the leader of the Yellow Turban Army.

It seems to be faithful, but there are many modifications in the words and sentences, which seem inappropriate.

"Is this a manuscript? Do you have other regular copies?"

"No, this is the letter to Xu He."

Guo Peng smiled: "Fengxiao, guess why did I write this letter like this?"

Many messy letters with modifications, the text is just a simple greeting, and the meaning of hope that he will surrender. A meaningless letter will be changed to this way. Why is this?

Shaoqing, when the light of inspiration appeared, Guo Jia's brain rotated at high speed, was shocked, and then widened his eyes and looked at Guo Peng.

"Brother, are you going to use this to discard the leader of the Yellow Turban Thief?"

"Yes, I just want to disagree with them. Trust is a rare thing. Once you have a little bit of doubt, trust will disappear.

They seem to be very powerful, but if there is a situation of mutual suspicion within, the strong defense will be self-defeating, especially in such a high degree of tension.”

Guo Peng stood up: "So this letter is to be sent, and we must continue to march to form an oppressive force, but no attack is allowed."

Guo Jia looked at the letter in his hand and countless possibilities suddenly emerged in his mind.

On the first day of December, Guo Peng led his army to Fan County, Rencheng Kingdom, where he met the main force of the Yellow Turban Army.

They set up a chain camp around the county town with Fan County as the center, and formed a relatively complete urban defense system based on the county town. With tens of thousands of soldiers and horses stationed, they looked like a wall of iron.

Guo Peng did not attack.

On the fourth day of the 12th month, the weather is cold and the wind is shaking.

It has been three days since Guo Peng led his army into Rencheng Kingdom and set up camp not far from the Yellow Turban Army camp to confront each other. For the past three days, Guan Hai has been confused in his heart.

Three days ago, when Guo Peng led his army to arrive, the two armies confronted each other.

The coalition forces of Xu He and Guan Hai closely guarded the camps and key roads, adhered to the fortifications, and remained firmly on the battlefield.

Xu He was guarding outside the city, Guan Hai stayed in the city, and served as a supportive force to counter Guo Peng's strong attack.

Guo Peng led his army to arrive but did not launch an attack, but invited Xu He to meet him.

Guo Peng had only one personal guard beside him, and he was not standing by his side, and he also untied his sword. He hoped that Xu He could come and meet at the midpoint of the two armies.

Xu He felt strange, but he felt that he had no need to be afraid of Guo Peng. This was a battlefield that was a life-and-death battle, so what should I be afraid of?

And he felt that Guo Peng was talking about surrender with him and hoped that he would surrender.

So Xu He called Guan Hai out of the city and handed the camp to Guan Hai. He rode out of the camp alone and told Guan Hai to lead the army and go to see Guo Peng.

Guan Hai was very nervous and careful at the meeting between Xu He and Guo Peng. From a distance, he saw the two of them seem to be chatting. As they were chatting, Guo Peng laughed, as if he was very happy.

Shaoqing, Guo Peng said goodbye to Xu He and left.

Xu He came back with a puzzled look after a while.

"What did he say?"

Guan Hai immediately stepped forward to ask.

"He didn't say anything, just said some very ordinary greetings, and didn't say anything else."

Xu He frowned, and he was also full of doubt.

"Ah? He called you over in front of the two armies, just to chat with you?"

"I also find it strange, what exactly does Guo Peng want to do?"
