Two hundred and ninety-nine, the feeling of being a boss is really good
Han Hao strongly suggested that Guo Peng send troops to capture Hanoi County.
He simply described the people in Hanoi County as a pervert who longed for his terrible desire.
"Although Hanoi has been ravaged by Dong Zhuo and the Huns, and its people have declined, the elders of Hanoi are looking forward to the arrival of the general, and the Hanoi county is in a good position. If the general can obtain Hanoi, he can directly threaten Yecheng, the capital of Yuan Benchu, Jizhou, so that he will not be able to rest. I hope the general will observe clearly."
Guo Peng understands Han Hao's meaning.
I have handed over my family to you, so you should believe me. I am really willing to be a leader to guide you and ensure that you can easily take over Hanoi County.
Then he can directly threaten the core of Yuan Shao's rule from Hanoi County, Yecheng, so that he can't sleep well or eat well, and he can't feel tired all over.
By understanding the geographical environment of Hanoi, you will know that taking over Hanoi County can easily threaten Yecheng, the core of Jizhou's rule.
Instead of starting from Yanzhou and crossing most of Wei County to attack Yecheng, it is basically a state where the cavalry set out in the morning and arrive in the afternoon.
If I mastered Hanoi, I would definitely make Yuan Shao crazy.
So, will it be so easy?
Based on the information currently available, Guo Peng learned that Yuan Shao stationed 10,000 troops in Fanyang County and did not go south to attack Puyang.
Yuan Shao himself was not in Yecheng, but went north to Gaoyang County, probably because he wanted to take advantage of Gongsun Zan's opportunity to suppress the uprising of the old clans in various places.
Speaking of which, Guo Peng is quite happy to see it.
He really hoped to see Yuan Shao destroy Gongsun Zan and destroy the local snake Gongsun family in Liaodong.
It seems that Yuan Shao could not destroy the Gongsun family, and the Gongsun family was destroyed by Sima Yi.
After Guo Peng wrote a letter to him for scolding him for killing the clan's family, Gongsun Zan wrote a letter to explain to Guo Peng.
He said that he was obsessed with it and really didn't know how he thought of doing such a thing at that time.
Obviously, Gongsun Zan was unwilling to lose Guo Peng as a strong support, so he also moved out of his identity as a disciple of Lu Zhi and apologized to Guo Peng, and then hoped that Guo Peng could send troops north to help him restrain Yuan Shao.
After reading it, Guo Peng burned Gongsun Zan's letter and ignored his intention to ask for help.
As for taking over Hanoi County, in Guo Peng's view, it is simply a matter of easy work to have Han Hao, the leader.
However, the chaos in Yanzhou has not been cleaned up yet, and Guo Peng cannot get rid of himself and does not want to cause trouble for Yuan Shao at this time.
Yuan Shao worked hard to help him clear the chaos in Youzhou. How could he drag him down at this time?
Just so happens that Guo Peng’s reasons are also very sufficient.
The chaos in the four counties and states needs to be cleaned up, and a large number of military farms and refugees need to be dealt with. He really has no time to attack Hanoi County.
But he was very interested in attacking Hanoi County.
"I understand the suffering of the elders of Hanoi. Zhang Yang did not cultivate virtue and helped the evildoer to abuse him, and actually helped Lu Bu to plan for Yanzhou. He would never give up at this time. When I finish tidying up Yanzhou, I will definitely send troops to Hanoi. I can't get rid of it now.
Yuansi, go find Guo Sima and discuss and study a strategy for attacking Hanoi for me. How many soldiers, how much food and fodder are needed, how much routes are, etc., and it should be as perfect as possible and detailed as possible. I am looking forward to it."
Guo Peng looked at Han Hao with an expression of "You understand what I mean". Han Hao was overjoyed and immediately took the order and went to find Guo Jia with a smile.
Obviously, Han Hao discovered that this was Guo Peng testing his skills, and he wanted to see if he had real skills. If he had real skills, he would entrust him with more important responsibilities.
This is his opportunity, and we must seize it!
Han Hao was full of confidence and showed off his energy and had to show off his years of learning.
Seeing him working hard, Mr. Guo was sincerely happy.
The so-called boss moves his mouth and employees break their legs. It feels great to be a boss.
Afterwards, Guo Peng took people to Puyang to meet Cao Cao and Xi Zhong.
"Yuan Benchu has stationed troops in Fanyang since the beginning of the war. He did not go south or return, but he stationed troops in Fanyang County. The movements were strange. However, according to the investigation, our spies reported that Yuan Benchu's army seemed to be short of food and grass, and many soldiers went up the mountain to collect berries to satisfy their hunger.
There were also many soldiers who went down the river to fish, some hunted wild animals, and many soldiers plundered the civil servants and wealthy families in groups, and attacked the manor to seize food and grass. It was very chaotic. According to this, Yuan Benchu seemed not ready to attack Dongjun."
Cao Cao told Guo Peng the news he found, and based on Yuan Shao's army's lack of food, he judged that Yuan Shao had no intention of going south.
"If Yuan Benchu wanted to go south to support Lu Bu, it would be impossible not to provide enough food and grass for the army. Therefore, Ming Gong, Zhong, thought that Yuan Benchu would not dare to go south to attack Yanzhou before he pacified Gongsun Zan from Liaodong."
Xi Zhongze gave a clearer judgment, judging that Yuan Shao adopted the strategy of first north and then south first easy and then difficult, first stabilized the back, and then Xu Tu attacked the Qingyan and the two prefectures.
This judgment is consistent with the accurate information that Guo Peng obtained from the information, which shows that Xi Zhong has indeed put in effort to study Yuan Shao.
"So that's the case, Yanzhou is in chaos now. Han Yuansi also suggested that I attack Hanoi County. I have this idea, but the current half of Yanzhou is broken and needs to be rectified. I have no enterprising power for the time being."
Guo Peng shook his head, looking regretful.
Then, Guo Peng introduced Zhang Liao to Cao Cao and also introduced Cao Cao to Zhang Liao. After that, Cao Cao and Zhang Liao were in charge of the army and jointly guarded Dongjun.
Cao Cao was very confused about Guo Peng's arrangement to appoint a surrendered general as a garrison to control military power, and talked about this matter with Guo Peng in private.
"Zifeng, Zhang Wenyuan is from Bingzhou and is a surrendered general. Now Lu Fengxian has just been defeated, Zhang Zhishu is still in Hanoi County, and Yuan Benchu is still eyeing Jizhou. You can appoint him as the governor of Dongjun. Isn't this too dangerous? You don't worry about him colluding with the enemy, I still have such concerns."
After hearing Cao Cao's concerns, Guo Peng laughed and shook his head.
"Brother, you are worried, I am not worried. Zhang Wenyuan is not a simple martial artist. He has read books and understands the truth. Isn't it difficult for him to survive as the old general's subordinate in Luoyang and Chang'an?"
Cao Cao frowned and said slowly, "I said that, but I always feel uneasy. It is too risky to hand over the military power to a surrendered general."
“No, no.”
Guo Peng also shook his head: "Zhang Wenyuan can survive in Luoyang and Chang'an, and his ability to seek profit and avoid harm is not comparable to ordinary people. He knows the current situation better than anyone else, and even has been unfavorable to Lu Bu since the beginning of the war, so he does not work hard to attack Yan County.
Even so, he did not betray Lu Bu and counterattack, but surrendered when he had no choice. In this world, this is human nature. Zhang Wenyuan would not be unable to see our advantages and Yuan Benchu's disadvantages. He would do his best."
Cao Cao was skeptical.
"Even so, I don't think he is a person I can trust. Zifeng, he is from Bingzhou."
"So what about the people of Bingzhou? Are they not the people of the great man?"
Guo Peng smiled and held Cao Cao's hand: "Brother, in this world, we can't expect anyone to be as reliable as our family. No one wants to die. Everyone wants to live, have wealth and power.
It is normal for human beings to see that powerful people follow him. It is not surprising that the original master declines and subordinates scatter and change their families. We cannot expect that everyone must die for the master, as long as they can do their part.
Moreover, his family has been sent to Lu County, and his elder brother is watching him for me in Dong County. Zhang Wenyuan is not a stupid person. Don't worry, Zhang Wenyuan will never dare to act rashly here."
Cao Cao looked at Guo Peng for a while and smiled.
"I am born to be a hard-working life. As soon as I finished the farming work in Jinan, you asked me to come to Dongjun to clean up the mess. I am your wife and brother-in-law!"
"If it weren't for my wife and brother, could I give the important place as important as Dongjun to my elder brother?"
Guo Peng laughed: "Now Yuan Shao is in the north and Zhang Yang is in the west. Brother, Dongjun is relying on you. Without you in Dongjun, I dare not rest assured."
"You just know that you can say good things to me and let me work hard, so you can rest assured."
