Initially, intelligence spying has been very difficult these days.

Communication methods are extremely backward and extremely time-consuming. The two places are slightly apart, and it takes several days to go back and forth.

In this way, there is still enough roads, and the assistance of horses and stations can be achieved. It is a fantasy to rely on one person and one horse to complete intelligence spy.

The road traffic at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty was really hard to describe. Xun You wanted to go to Yizhou to be an official, but he couldn't enter Yizhou because the road was not open.

People from Ji County, Youzhou sent a letter to Luoyang, but because the road was blocked, he had to take a detour to the grassland. As a result, he walked for two years before he arrived in Luoyang.

With this road situation, I still want to play a lone hero?

Mr. Guo thought that infrastructure is king.

So while he was managing the local area, he paid the most attention to road traffic, not only for spying on intelligence and military operations, but also for deeper significance.

Doing an experiment now will be of great use in the future.

Therefore, because Guo set up a complete intelligence transmission system and route early in the morning, and set up a professional intelligence force, Linzi Camp, so he walked in front of all warlords.

So they wanted to play intelligence war with Mr. Guo, just to find a shot.

The tasks and main targets of Linzi Camp at this stage are Yuan Shao's forces, and most of their energy is focused on the direction of Jizhou.

Guo Peng can understand any movement in Jizhou as quickly as possible, but Yuan Shao cannot know Guo Peng's actual actions.

However, Yuan Shao's basic strategy is to first go north and then south. He did not have the idea of ​​going south to fight Guo Peng before the north was pacified.

Before the extermination of Gongsun Zan, there was still a quarrel in his camp.

The reason is that Tian Feng insisted that Guo Peng would go north in the near future, hoping that Yuan Shao would only leave a small number of troops to restrain Gongsun Zan, support the Youzhou United Army, and hand over the main attack to the Youzhou United Army, and lead the main force to garrison Yecheng to guard against Guo Peng's northern expedition.

So before Yuan Shao was about to leave, Tian Feng repeatedly wrote letters to persuade Yuan Shao not to lead his troops north in person, which made Yuan Shao very unhappy.

But even so, Tian Feng did not think that his advice was unreasonable, and he insisted on his own opinion, saying that he should focus on the south rather than the north. Gongsun Zan was a small trouble, and Guo Peng was the enemy of life and death, so he must be taken seriously.

Yuan Shao was very angry.

I beat Gongsun Zan to have a stable rear, and to have a stable rear, is to deal with Guo Peng. But you said I don’t value Guo Peng?

Tian Feng immediately said that he did not mean that, but that he would first solve Guo Peng, and then solve the disasters in the north, and reverse the order of the primary and secondary.

This is to use the basic route.

Xu You immediately stood up and talked with Tian Feng, insisting on his opinion. The two were quarreled hard, which finally made Yuan Shao very angry and scolded Tian Feng fiercely.

Only then did Tian Feng realize that Yuan Shao had already made his own decision, and let everyone argue, just pretending. He didn't like his subordinates to question his ideas, even if this was wrong.

"If we can't plot against Guo Peng first and eliminate Guo Peng, we may all be his captives!"

Tian Feng finally shouted out in despair.

This completely angered Yuan Shao.

"Before the war, what are you thinking? Are you cursing me for defeat?"

Yuan Shao was furious and dismissed Tian Feng from his post and detained him. It was useless for anyone to persuade him. After locking up Tian Feng, he sent troops north to attack Gongsun Zan.

Some colleagues tried to rescue Tian Feng, but Yuan Shao was particularly angry this time and said directly that whoever dared to release Tian Feng would be punished with him.

So no one tried to stop Yuan Shao.

This incident caused a lot of controversy in Jizhou, and Guo Peng also learned about it through special channels and felt very happy.

Of course, the fewer people like Tian Feng are in Yuan Shao's camp, the better. If there are too many, how can Guo deal with Yuan Shao?

Yuan Shao believed in Xu You's judgment, and Xu You insisted that Guo Peng could not react before Gongsun Zan was wiped out, because that little time was not enough for him to mobilize troops and food.

That's why Yuan Shao was very relieved to lead his elite troops to the north. Sure enough, Yi Jing, who destroyed Gongsun Zan, killed Gongsun Zan, and relieved the troubles. Then Guo Peng had not yet gone north.

Yuan Shao's psychology was suddenly full of pride.

As long as he is given a while, he will be able to recover his energy and start to consider Bingzhou, and then go south to fight Guo Peng.

The whole process may be done in three or four years, and during this period, he already had the confidence to face Guo Peng's attack.

The troops and horses of Youzhou and the Wuwan cavalry were recruited, and Guo Peng did not have the advantage when he used such elite troops to fight against Guo Peng, but Yuan Shao had much confidence.

After he was about to return to Yecheng, he would laugh at Tian Feng fiercely and laugh at his pedantic and incompetent nature.

But he underestimated Guo Peng's accumulated strength and his determination to march to destroy him.

In order to eliminate Yuan Shao, Guo Peng really worked hard.

So when Guo Peng led his army to Fanyang County, Yan Liang and Gao Lan were in a mess.

The troops sent to the city to block the enemy were cleanly and neatly removed, unable to gain more time, and then they were barely prepared for the city defense. The messenger who asked for help ran out for only two days, and I don't know when it would take the reinforcements to bring them.

However, Yan Liang and Gao Lan were not panicked.

Guo Peng's army does not seem to be too many, at least not as big as 100,000. He has 10,000 troops guarding the city. If Guo Peng's troops are not strong enough, it will be a big problem to stick to it for more than two months.

But if it takes more than two months, the problem will be big.

Because we were not prepared for war, there was not much food in the city. The amount was only two months. After more than two months, we would happily chew the bark and eat grass roots together.

If the army is less, it can still defend the city, but if there is no food, it will be over.

So Yan Liang and Gao Lan decided to use Xiaohu to save some food before getting the accurate source information.

They felt that Guo Peng's siege was still the same as before. When they saw Guo Peng launching dozens of trench machines aimed at the city wall, they were surprised to ask the people around them what weapon they were.

They will find out soon.

The huge stone bullet falling from the sky told them what weapon it was.

Although the accuracy of the trencher is not good and it is difficult to hit the predetermined target, as long as it can hit the city wall or into the city, it is considered a victory.

The city was smashed and the crowds were scattered, and they collapsed. Then Guo Peng ordered the army to attack, fill the gullies, send obstacles, and form formations, pushing the ladder truck forward with a large shield, and starting to attack the city.

If Yan Liang and Gao Lan are not small characters, they will react quickly.

Quickly order the army to defend the city, saying that the enemy cannot use the stone-killing weapon when attacking, so everyone should go to the city to defend!

The soldiers of the Zhendong Army under Guo Peng fought bravely to fight in the city and killed many Yuan soldiers.

Gao Lan and Yan Liang desperately commanded the army to counterattack, pushed out the hot gold juice and poured it down. With the momentum of destroying the world, they finally repelled the first wave of attacks of the Zhendong Army.

The first attack failed like this.

But it's okay, there's a second time.

Xi Zhong found that the current wind direction was beneficial to Guo Peng, so he suggested that Guo Peng light thick smoke from firewood and grass at the upper air outlet, and the thick smoke blew to the top of the city along the wind direction.

The defenders on the city were unable to stand at all, so they were smoked and ran away and could not breathe.

So Guo Peng immediately ordered the army to wrap his mouth and nose with a wet cloth towel, and took the opportunity to climb the city to fight, climbed onto the city wall again, destroying a large number of their defending equipment. In the end, they could not defeat the large number of people and were forced to retreat, and the second wave of siege failed.

After two waves of siege, it was almost time tonight. Guo Peng ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops and stop the first day of siege.

Through this wave of offensive, Guo Peng roughly understood the number and combat effectiveness of the soldiers in the city, and felt that this was not a difficult army to deal with. So he commanded the army to surround three missing one on the next day, surrounding the city wall on three sides and attacking on three sides.

Then use the third powerful siege weapon.

Use a powerful crossbow to launch a large thunder into the city wall.

The lethality is not very high, and it mainly relies on the debris that scattered out of the sky for killing, but the sound is extremely loud. These soldiers who have never experienced it are frightened by the sudden explosion and are frightened, and the city is in chaos.

Guo Peng ordered the catapult to launch another thunder, and the stone bomb and the sky-shaking thunder completely tore the defense line at the city in a short time. Yuan's army at the city fled in scattered and could not stop it.

"Ming Gong! It's time!"

Xi Zhong made comments to Guo Peng with excitement.

Guo Peng nodded.
Chapter completed!
