Zhang He, Gao Lan, Yan Liang, Zhu Ling and other surrendered generals were waiting for the war and were eager to escape.

Now that the war has finally arrived, they finally have the opportunity to make contributions. They are very excited and have brought their troops to prepare for war.

In early June of the first year of Xingping, the Baibo army and Yu Fuluo's coalition invaded Shangdang County, and the first target was Nei County.

The captain Zhu Ling, under the order of Guo Peng, led two thousand troops here to block the Baibo army and Yu Fuluo's coalition forces. Zhu Ling fought with the coalition vanguard for a while, but was defeated and retreated quickly, abandoning Nei County.

The coalition forces were overjoyed and immediately entered Nie County and tried to grab a big snatch, but only then found that Nie County was already an empty city.

Guo Peng has long ordered the evacuation of the people in Nei County, destroying roads, bridges, filling wells, taking away everything they can, and implementing a firm policy of strengthening the walls and clearing the fields.

This area has a rugged terrain and inconvenient road traffic. There is only one road in many places, and it is still a must-pass road. If you want to move forward, you must pass here, and there is no other way.

Just like when dealing with Yuan Shao, Guo Peng used the momentum and desire of the enemy to take the initiative to attack, strengthen the walls and clear the fields, lengthen the enemy's supply line, shorten his supply line, give himself the advantage in logistics supply, and reduce his own war loss.

War is an art, but for Guo Peng, it is the art of command and the art of saving money. How to command and save money is what he needs to think about the most.

You can't just break yourself into bankruptcy by fighting a war, that's not worth it.

To deal with this group of enemies like bandits, we must use various methods to drag him to death and starve him to death, making him go crazy in a hurry, and take advantage of the vast land of Bingzhou, which is difficult to develop insignificant roads, expand the unmanned land and enhance the difficulty of the opponent's marching.

Yang Feng and Yu Fuluo marched all the way, but basically encountered no people along the way. After defeating Zhu Ling and arriving in Nei County, they were originally ready to rob, but found that there was no one in Nei County.

No one, no livestock, no food, and even the wells for drinking water were stuffed. They searched for a long time, but except for encountering many traps, they found nothing useful.

Yang Feng and Yu Fuluo were stunned and immediately realized that this was a tactic of firming the walls and clearing the world.

"It seems that Guo Zifeng is ready. If this continues, we will be very passive. General Yang, what do you think we should do?"

Yu Fufufu calculated the food in everyone's hands, felt unsure, so he asked Yang Feng, the representative of the court.

Yang Feng was just a bandit, Yellow Turban thief, and had no great wisdom. He had only a strong force and courage, but he was actually not a ruthless character.

"Continue going south. No matter how powerful Guo Zifeng is, can he move all the people in Shangdang County? Let's continue to go south and we will definitely meet people!"

Yang Feng said so.

Yang Feng said it simply, but Yu Fuluo was so upset.

"We don't have that much food. What if we continue to go south, we can't meet people?"

"We are ordered by the court to win this battle. If I get promoted and make money, you can go back to become a Shanyu. Wealth is always something that has never fallen from the sky. You won't want to retreat, right?"

Yang Feng looked at Yu Fuluo suspiciously, and Yu Fuluo suddenly had nothing to say.

Indeed, only by winning this battle can I go back with justification, otherwise I will really not be able to go back.

Now the actual controller of the Southern Huns can refuse his return.

Moreover, judging from the results of the previous battle, Guo Peng's army was not an elite army. He retreated after a little fight. Yu Fuluo was still confident in dealing with such an army.

Then I can only bite the bullet and go south all the way.

But not to mention that they did not meet anyone in Nie County, they still did not meet anyone in Xiangyuan County.

The garrison of Xiangyuan County was Gao Lan's headquarters. Gao Lan was ordered to guard Xiangyuan County. Yang Feng thought he had learned military tactics and played the three-missing one. So a few days later, Gao Lan retreated, broke through the city, and fled.

Yang Feng also pretended to say "Don't chase the enemy" and then he was very excited to occupy Xiangyuan County.

I was stunned as a result.

Xiangyuan County is also empty.

The empty city, the low and dilapidated houses, the stench of shit and urine, nothing else.

The food I raised and robbed before departure was almost finished. After marching for more than ten days, no enemy was encountered. Is this a war?

Yang Feng couldn't hold on anymore, let alone other people.

They didn't have much grain reserves. Fortunately, they could hardly hold on when they arrived in Xiangyuan County. The army of tens of thousands of people could not find anything to eat. They could only hunt, fish, pick fruits, dig grass roots, chew tree bark to supplement the lack of food.

Although green, healthy and pollution-free, this thing is really hard to fill your stomach. Now the coalition forces are tired and hungry.

In desperation, Yang Feng and Yu Fuluo had to order the army to rest in Xiangyuan County and send people to hunt, fish and find food, at least have a full meal.

The whistle cavalry searched everywhere and said that there was still no people found within a radius of twenty miles, and it might take more than to meet the enemy even further south.

Yang Feng and Yu Fuluo were helpless, but fortunately they were lucky today. The hunting army encountered a herd of beasts, the fishing army also caught a lot of fish, and the picking army also picked a lot of fruits, which could barely give the army a full meal.

But what should I do tomorrow, the day after tomorrow?

The bandits who are used to fighting to raise war lack logistics supply thinking and do not care about this kind of thing. They think that fighting to raise war is the kingly way and only eat from the enemy, but once they encounter problems that cannot be controlled, they become timid.

"At the south, there is Huguan County, and then there is the place where the entire Shangdang people are the most. I guess everyone is there, so Guo Peng would not take away all the people from Shangdang County, which is too abnormal."

Yang Feng sighed.

Han Xian looked at Yang Feng.

"We have no food anymore. If there is still no one in Huguan County, what should we do?"

"Impossible, unless Guo Peng really doesn't want Shangdang County, or wants to starve us to death!"

Yang Feng said viciously.

"What if we go back now...?"

Hu Cai asked with no confidence.

"Of course we starve to death. Now we have no food, how can we go back?"

Li Le rolled his eyes.

A group of people fell into silence.

"Why do I feel like we've been trapped?"

Han Xian suddenly asked: "Walking all the way south is like being led forward."

When Han Xian asked this, a group of people blinked and looked at each other, as if they all noticed something was wrong.

But now that things have come to this point, I can’t retreat even if I want to retreat, so I can only bite the bullet and continue moving forward.

The army lacking food was moving forward with hunger and fullness, and the dissatisfaction in the army slowly accumulated. Before they arrived in Huguan County, internal strife broke out.

One night, a mutiny broke out in Hu Cai's army.
