On July 27, several Youzhou nobles led by the Xianyu family brought their families to Handan to join Guo Peng.

Guo Peng was not surprised by this because he knew that these people were not here to surrender to him, but to surrender to the Yuan banner behind him.

"Yuan Benchu's army is approaching, and the wealthy families in Youzhou and Jizhou support Yuan Benchu. Now the most dangerous thing is me. Why have you abandoned your ancestral property and defected to me?"

Guo Peng immediately met the people from these families and chatted with them.

Xian Yufu, as a representative, said to Guo Peng: "The general is brave and good at fighting. This is something that everyone in Youzhou knows. Although Yuan Benchu ​​has four generations and three masters, we never expected that Yuan Benchu ​​was such a person who deceived the world and thieves the world. How could we do things under the command of a person who deceived the world and thieves the world and thieves the world and thieves the world?"

"I see."

Of course, Guo Peng would not take this kind of words seriously, but he was curious about the perspectives of these families.

Do they really feel that they can defeat Yuan Shao?

"But now that Yuan Benchu's army is heading south, with many soldiers and a wide range of generals, I can't compete. Does Xian Yujun really think I can defeat Yuan Benchu?"

Guo Peng took Xian Yufu's hand and asked him to sit down, sat down face to face with him, and discussed the matter.

"Although Yuan Benchu ​​seems to be powerful, Yuan Benchu ​​is a person with a fierce and weak character on the outside. He has never won a fight with the general, let alone the general possesses great justice this time, while Yuan Benchu ​​is a person who deceives the world and steals reputation. In this way, isn't it clear enough who can win this result?"

Xian Yufu's remarks made Guo Peng very interested.

"Xian Yujun thought, what is the biggest weakness of Yuan Benchu's army?"

Xian Yufu thought for a moment and replied: "The biggest weakness of Yuan Benchu's army is that his army is uneven. His army is made up of temporary pieces and is not familiar with each other. It is hard to say that they can cooperate in cooperation. This is a huge hidden danger, but Yuan Benchu ​​doesn't seem to care."

Guo Peng nodded.

"Above the battle formation, the cooperation between the military formations is very important. Yuan Benchu ​​thought he wanted to defeat me immediately and did not pay much attention to this. Since this, I have confidence. Xian Yujun and you all chose to surrender to me at this time. When I win, I will definitely not treat you badly."

Mr. Guo is also used to saying this kind of thing and is very cliché.

Anyway, they came to join Yuan Shu's subordinate Guo Peng, not Guo Peng himself.

But at the moment, Guo Peng doesn't care much about this matter.

For Guo, it was already a great victory for someone to surrender or from the enemy camp. This was enough to prove the trouble that Yuan Shao encountered after he activated his skills to rely on his power.

After all, it’s still Yuan Shu, or Yuan Shu.

Because Yuan Shu beat Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao lost half of his arm and support while fighting at home. Otherwise, with the conditions for Yuan Shao to open up the qualification to study "Meng Shiyi", the whole of Hebei would be crazy.

However, because of Yuan Shu, half of the powerful landlords stepped on the brakes, swallowed, and touched their necks, thinking that life was more important.

If it weren't for Yuan Shu, would this be the case?

Thinking about this, Mr. Guo is really confused.

He began to think, if this battle was won beautifully, what should we do next?

What should I do to make myself a real winner, rather than let Yuan Shu become a real winner?

Mr. Guo thought carefully and thought of some meaningful solutions.

But before that, Mr. Guo had to turn over Yuan Shao and get Yuan Shao's head first.

On the seventh day of the eighth month, Yuan Shao's army set out from Tao County, the capital of Julu County, and arrived at Ren County, Julu County, but found that the county town was empty.

The pioneer reported to Yuan Shao that there was no population around the county town, roads were destroyed, bridges were destroyed, buildings were destroyed, and all the summer grains that could be harvested in the fields were harvested first.

Yuan Shao was very surprised when he heard the report and ordered the vanguard army to continue southward and head to Nanhe County. The vanguard army struggled to repair the roads and bridges and advanced hard, and found that the situation in Nanhe County was exactly the same as that in Ren County.

There was no people, the roads were destroyed, the bridges were damaged, and the buildings were destroyed. All the things that could be used in the county were plundered, leaving only an empty shell.

The Pioneer Army continued to go south, and the same was true for Guangnian County. When we entered Zhao State further south, we found that the Yiyang County of Zhao State was the same.

Departing from Yiyang County to Handan, he encountered an interception by the general Zhang Liao of Guo Peng. Zhang Liao led the cavalry to attack the vanguard army of Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang. Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang had to retreat, thus concluding that Guo Peng was forging defense in Handan.

After receiving the report, Yuan Shao frowned and was very annoyed.

The five major strategists under his command immediately pointed out that this was Guo Peng's plan to clear the enemy's advance. I'm afraid that many counties south of the front line of Tao County had been robbed by Guo Peng, leaving only an empty shell.

All the population was robbed by Guo Peng and forced to go to Wei County in the south. Except for a very small number of people who escaped, they were basically an unmanned land.

"Guo Zifeng knew he was defeated and must have transferred all the population and materials in this area to Wei County, and even to Yanzhou. This villain is sinister and cunning, and has prepared a way out for himself. It seems that he may no longer plan to continue north."

Xu You made a judgment based on this.

Guo Peng spent some time to build a vacuum zone of population resources before Yuan Shao headed south.

Originally, Yuan Shao played at home and Guo Peng played away, and Yuan Shao had an absolute advantage.

As a result, Guo Peng dispatched a large army to mobilize auxiliary soldiers and civilians, and forcibly plundered all the population and materials in this large area with weapons.

The no-man's land appeared.

Guo Peng's actions are equivalent to directly pulling Yuan Shao's home field advantage to the same level as himself, and gaining the advantage with rich experience.

Yuan Shao was unable to obtain on-site supplies for supplies in this area. He had to build new granaries, store grain and grass, repair roads, and ensure that supplies were replenished in time before he could go south to fight Guo Peng.

Yuan Shao scolded Guo Peng for this, but he had no choice but to work hard on the journey from Tao County to Yiyang County.

It took a lot of time to set up granaries, repair roads and bridges to facilitate the advance of the 60,000 troops.

Guo Peng was already very prepared and might even be ready to withdraw his troops and plunder the population of his Wei County, Qinghe Kingdom and Bohai County to Yanzhou, which severely hit his strength.

Yuan Shao suddenly felt like he was hitting the cotton with one punch.

I came here with great momentum, but you actually wanted to run away?

Don't run away! Stop for me!

So disgusting me, are you going to run away now?

It's not that easy! Pay me a price!

Yuan Shao wants to chase after him.

But we must first arrange the food route and prepare the army's way forward, because Guo Peng destroyed them all.

The 60,000 army is huge in size and has high requirements for roads and bridges. However, Guo Peng destroyed the roads very well.

These days, the roads that can be used by large troops are very limited. Due to the insufficient development level, large areas are still dense with pristine jungles and bushes. If you want to divert the route, it will take more time.

Yuan Shao could only grit his teeth and repair the road.

As a result, there was a pit here and there, and there was a mound. I didn’t know where to set a trap. Many of the necessary roads were all traps. A few steps were a trap, and many people died.

This made Yuan Shao's army like a frightened bird, and it was as slow as a snail climbing forward.

Yuan Shao saw it and was anxious, but he had no choice but to do anything. He had no wings and could not fly. There was no one around and he could not get help.

Guo Peng, you can, you can really!

Yuan Shao gritted his teeth and hated Guo Peng.
