Two hundred and seventy-two: Guo Peng, who made progress, and Lu Bu, who fled
Less than a month after learning that Dong Zhuo was dead, Guo Peng received news again that Wang Yun died and Dong Zhuo's remaining troops entered Chang'an to control the emperor.
He knew that the Han Dynasty had once again become a puppet controlled by the warlords.
Since Guo Peng has learned it, everyone in the world has learned it.
Guo Peng didn't know when he learned this news, some people in the world were heartbroken, and some were heartbroken on the surface, and some were heartbroken and sneered in their hearts.
Anyway, Mr. Guo is definitely the latter, not the former.
Mr. Guo has the former, such as Xun Yu, who is responsible for comprehensively deploying locust control strategies, feels extremely hated and angrily scolds Liangzhou for causing trouble to the country and the people.
But the latter is definitely more.
Something more will be excited about it.
Because they knew that now was the time to fight for the lord they chose.
Chen Gong began to jump up and down to design a plan for Guo to attack Yuan Shao to destroy Yuan Shao.
How to send troops, how to advance, how to attack Yuan Shao's key points, how to destroy it, how to occupy Jizhou and rule Jizhou, and how to further pacify Youzhou and Bingzhou in Hebei.
In this way, you can relieve your worries and gain a stable rear.
Then, after completing all this, you can go west to seek advancement in Luoyang and Chang'an, seize the emperor in your hands, and launch a political offensive against the world.
Chen Gong told Guo Peng with confidence that judging from the current situation, Guo Peng should adopt the strategy of first north and then west and then south.
Because the north is the enemy, it must be eliminated first so that there will be no worries.
The south is an ally, and you cannot turn against each other until you need it.
Chen Gong had no good feelings for Yuan Shu, thinking that Yuan Shu was just a young man who relied on his family background to this position. He did not cultivate political achievements in Huainan and made a living by plundering the local area. He was completely a bandit-like manner, which was really unpleasant.
"If a general wants to fight against Yuan Shao, he cannot be without the name of Yuan Shu. Once Yuan Shao is destroyed, the general has to consider himself."
After learning that the capital was in trouble and the only remaining chance of life in the Han Dynasty was cut off by the Liangzhou people again, Chen Gong seemed to have some enlightenment and made a suggestion to Guo Peng that is still far away now.
Guo Peng felt that Chen Gong was right.
Before Yuan Shao was destroyed, he could not turn against Yuan Shu, but at least he had to ensure superficial harmony.
As for the opportunity to turn against Yuan Shu, Guo Peng is in his hands.
However, the most important thing at the moment is still not the Northern Expedition, but the rectification of internal affairs, raising more food and grass, and creating more weapons.
Especially heavy ordnance.
For example, a trencher.
That's right, when he learned that Dong Zhuo was dead, the Ordnance Research Institute set up by Guo Peng in the valley around Lu County finally restored the catapult.
A group of skilled craftsmen followed the ideas given by Guo Peng and finally restored the catapult that Guo Peng had thought about for several years.
The emergence of the catapult can be said to have changed the military situation in the late Warring States Period and promoted the further development of the theory of the city defense system, but such a national weapon was once lost.
Guo Peng really couldn't understand.
We can only study and restore together with a large number of craftsmen, use our simple technical means to restore the catapult through continuous attempts.
Because the earliest trenchers were created by skilled craftsmen using their simple thoughts and hardworking hands.
Now it is not creating, but restoring.
Guo Peng rewarded the two craftsmen who made the greatest contribution, each rewarded ten kilograms of gold, and almost fainted with joy.
With this, Guo Peng announced that as long as the equipment that can be developed that is beneficial to the country and the people, whether it is agricultural equipment, handicraft equipment or military equipment, it can be rewarded.
Depending on the meaning, rewards are different, which is equivalent to issuing a policy to encourage inventions and creations.
After the policy came, the craftsmen immediately began to fight for gold with full confidence.
The completion of the catapult made Guo Peng full of confidence in his future marching and conquest, and thus made him begin to pay attention to his craftsman team and the principle of confidentiality.
Guo Peng divided his personal guards and stationed here specifically, providing strict protection around the place, and no longer allowed to enter and exit at will.
For craftsmen who have mastered the manufacturing method, they send painters to draw and hand them over to the guards' personal soldiers. In and out, they need to compare human face images, report their hometown, identity and position, and then they can enter and exit.
All the family moved to Lu County, and specially designated a special area for them to live in, and sent people to protect and monitor them day and night.
If there are any strange phenomena, please inform Guo Peng as soon as possible.
How can our intellectual property be stolen by others at will?
Mr. Guo still attaches great importance to protecting his intellectual property rights.
Of course, it doesn’t matter to others, and it still needs to be violated if it is to be violated.
While Guo was vigorously preparing military supplies and making sufficient preparations for the next war, Lu Bu broke through Wu Pass and fled to Yuzhou, finding Yuan Shu.
Lu Bu gave Dong Zhuo's head carelessly to Yuan Shu, boasting about his contributions, and expressing his idea of wanting to surrender to Yuan Shu.
Yuan Shu was quite happy to get Dong Zhuo's head. As soon as he was about to agree to Lu Bu, news came that Lu Bu's subordinates were plundering wealthy people everywhere.
Perhaps he was so hungry that he began to plunder when he arrived at Yuan Shu's territory, he began to use his traditional skills.
Yuan Shu was very dissatisfied at the time.
My territory, only I can be a robber! Who are you?!
After a few steps, Yuan Shu drove Lu Bu away.
Lu Bu had no choice but to lead his troops north, cross the Yellow River through Chenliu County, and surrender to Yuan Shao.
Who made the two brothers famous?
Lu Bu passed by Chenliu County and met Zhang Miao.
Zhang Miao likes to make friends, and is still very friendly to Lu Bu, who once helped the evildoer but "wake up in time" and sacrificed his merits. He personally met Lu Bu and hosted a banquet to entertain him.
Lu Bu couldn't help but sigh, saying that he had received treatment from Yuan Shu, and sighed that Zhang Miao was a good person. Before leaving, Lu Bu held Zhang Miao's hand and said goodbye.
Afterwards, Lu Bu left Chenliu County and led his generals across the Yellow River toward Jizhou, Hebei, and went to surrender to Yuan Shao.
Yuan Shao was having a headache at the time.
The reason is very simple. Although Gongsun Zan had no time to go south because he wanted to fight with his old clan members, Yuan Shao himself offended Zhang Yan, the leader of the Black Mountain Yellow Turban because of his previous battle with Gongsun Zan.
Therefore, Zhang Yan, the troops of the Yellow Turbans in the Black Mountains, who had a million people, made enemies with Yuan Shao, and Zhang Yan continued to send troops to attack Yuan Shao and harass his counties.
The prefects and magistrates of the county kept complaining to Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao had no choice but to send troops to attack the Heishan Army and fought many times. Although he had killed many Heishan Army, his own losses were not small.
Just when he was worried that he did not have a capable general, Lu Bu came.
At this time, Zhang Yan, the leader of the Yellow Turbans in the Black Mountain, led 10,000 elite soldiers and 3,000 cavalry to attack Changshan. Yuan Shao asked Lu Bu to join forces with him to fight against Zhang Yan.
With Yuan Shao's army overwhelmed the formation, Lu Bu was able to use his ability to fight cavalry and often rode a good horse named Chitu, and was close to the powerful generals under his command, Cheng Lian, Wei Yue and dozens of others rode horses to attack Zhang Yan's army.
Because he was very brave and superb riding, the riding skills of the group of people under his command were also quite superb, and Zhang Yan's army could not stop him.
He went to charge three or four times a day, charging with his soldiers, galloping across the board, and no one could stop him, and his archery skills were superb. The cavalry of the Black Mountain Army could not defeat him.
Because of his personal bravery and elite soldiers, Lu Bu was able to repel the Black Mountain Army every time, helping Yuan Shao gradually turn the situation around.
Under Lu Buduo's fighting for more than ten days, Yuan Shao finally defeated Zhang Yan's army, drove the remnants of the Heishan Army out of Changshan, and drove them back to the deep mountains.
Chapter completed!
