Three hundred and ninety-seven the rebirth of the beacon smoke in the Central Plains

On August 29, the war mobilization of the Qingyan Prefectures was completed at an unexpected speed. Guo Peng completed the army and held a oath-taking meeting, and then ordered an advance.

As planned, the 30,000 troops marched from Chenliu County, Cao Ren was the chief general, Guan Yu was the deputy general, and Chen Gong was the military officer of the marching Sima Counselor. He marched southwest from Chenliu County and entered Yingchuan County. The goal was to divide the troops into two groups to capture Chen State and Runan County after capturing Yingchuan County.

The elite main force led by Guo Peng himself was the first to be dispatched. He originally planned to dispatch 50,000 people, but later Guo Peng thought about it and thought that this war could be used for training, so he added 20,000 troops from the Jizhou camp to go south and gathered 70,000 troops to attack Liang State.

Guo Lie's troops stationed in Lu State would go south from Lu State to attack the northern part of Pei State, and then meet with Guo Peng in Pei State.

Therefore, in this battle, Guo Peng used a total of 100,000 combat soldiers and added 50,000 civilians, with a total of 200,000 logistics troops to ensure the transportation of food, weapons and materials, ensuring that the battle can proceed smoothly and will not be dragged down by logistics.

The Qingyan Prefectures accumulated enough food, animal power and human power accumulated over the years of military farming in Qinghai and Yanzhou exploded in an instant, and extremely powerful war mobilization power broke out.

In order to maintain and explode this mobilization force, the General's Mansion issued an order and ordered the cavalry to scatter out and mobilize the township and village chiefs from all over the country who went up to the chief executives to the grassroots level.

They went to each household, requisitioned the men from each household, registered and distributed them to famous brands, and then led the team to set off.

This kind of experience has not been very rare before. Guo Peng had similar mobilizations in the battles against Yuan Shao, the attack on the Yellow Turbans, the occupation of Yanzhou, and the battle against Lu Bu.

After a long period of training, all grassroots officials under Guo Peng's jurisdiction have received sufficient training.

So Guo Peng officially broke up with Yuan Shu, and with the power of Ji Qingyou and Yan's five prefectures, he brought 100,000 troops south to attack the fake Chen Emperor Yuan Shu.

At the same time, the proclamation against Yuan scattered everywhere, and the world was shocked.

The wars are rising again in the Central Plains.

Those who dislike Yuan Shu were overjoyed about this.

The person who was still hesitating and watching also strengthened his ideas and knew that he had made the right choice, and this correct choice would inevitably bring more benefits to him.

At least, it will not be found an excuse to kill because of Yuan Shu.

Almost no one thinks that Guo Peng will not win, and almost no one thinks that Yuan Shu will not be abandoned by the world.

The pseudo-Chen Empire was destined to perish quickly from its inception, even if it had established its inheritance, it was still the case.

Therefore, when Guo Peng marched into Yingchuan County and Liang State, he encountered almost no resistance.

These places that were so disastrously caused by Yuan Shu, the Yellow Turban Army and the Liangzhou Army were almost large areas of ruins and unmanned areas, as well as abandoned land and dilapidated houses.

At this moment, there was no prefect in Yingchuan County.

A few years ago, after the last prefect Li Min was killed by Dong Zhuopeng, Yingchuan County was robbed by the cavalry of Liangzhou several times. After the Liangzhou people retreated, the place was symbolically occupied by Yuan Shu.

When Yuan Shu saw that there were no households here, there were no powerful families, and they all ran away. They ran away from the dead. What else was there?

So there was symbolic occupation, no rule was established here, and there was no intention to resume production.

After Cao Ren's army entered Yingchuan, it was like a land of no one. There were almost no soldiers or resisters in each county. There were many bandits and a small number of Yellow Turban troops gathered together, and they became Cao Ren's biggest enemy.

But are they really qualified to be Cao Ren's enemies?

Obviously, it cannot be.

After being beaten by Guan Yu in a row, the bandits and the Yellow Turban Army retreated faster than anyone else. Cao Ren led his army to cover up the killing, defeated tens of thousands of bandits and the Yellow Turban Army, and seized tens of thousands of people.

Afterwards, Cao Ren placed them on the spot in Yingchuan County and ordered them to farm, be classified as civilians, and register them.

Later, the administrative team and reconstruction team from Chenliu County to Yingchuan County arrived and began to restore rule and production in Yingchuan County.

This is also a mature one-stop industry under Guo Peng's command. The army expanded its territory in front, and then officials and production and construction teams settled in, began to establish villages and villages, restore rule, and transformed this land from facts to Guo Peng's.

Yingchuan County was all captured by Cao Ren in mid-September. Then Cao Ren and Guan Yu divided their troops to advance. Cao Ren and Chen Gong led 20,000 troops to Runan County, and Guan Yu led 10,000 troops to march into the Chen State alone.

The Chen State was still very prosperous several years ago. Under the leadership of King Chen Liu Chong and Prime Minister Luo Jun at that time, many people went to Chen State to rely on him, which made King Chen Liu Chong bring 100,000 armor and great reputation.

As a result, Yuan Shu sent an assassin to Chen State and assassinated Liu Chong and Luo Jun. Chen State was in chaos and 100,000 troops scattered.

Afterwards, Yuan Shu sent his family's clan member Yuan Si to serve as Prime Minister of Chen and re-rule Chen.

When he learned that Guo Peng issued a manifesto to fight against Yuan and broke with Yuan Shu, he wanted to attack Yuan Shu in the name of the Great Han Dynasty's general to fight against the Northern Emperor. Guan Yu's army rushed towards Chen State for 10,000, and Yuan Si was very frightened.

Yuan Si had no ten thousand soldiers in his hands. Faced with the fierce Guo army's fierce move south, Yuan Si decided to resist and try it out.

So a vanguard of two thousand men was sent to test Guan Yu's vanguard military strength.

Then this vanguard was defeated by Guan Yu's vanguard Gao Lan. Only two or three hundred people fled, more than a thousand were killed, and all the rest were captured. The general who led the troops was chopped up and sent back to Yuan Si.

Yuan Si was frightened. After thinking about it, he felt that Yuan Shu was really unreliable. Yuan Shao died and was destroyed by Yuan Shu's group. Now Yuan Shu himself is going to commit suicide again. Isn't this not taking the inheritance of the Yuan family in Runan seriously?

In fact, the Yuan family had many oppositions to Yuan Shu's claim to be emperor, but they could not resist Yuan Shu. All those who opposed him were under house arrest by Yuan Shu, and house arrest was equivalent to Yuan Shu's traditional skills.

Yuan Si pretended to support him, but in fact he was very worried about the future of the Yuan family. He felt that the Yuan family, which had been passed down for more than a hundred years, might be in the hands of Yuan Shu, so he simply stopped fighting.

He sent someone to inform Guan Yu, saying that he had surrendered, and then opened the gate of Chenxian County City. The army was disarmed and sat on the ground. He himself took the lead in sitting on the ground, waiting for Guan Yu to come and capture him.

When Guan Yu came, Yuan Si surrendered very simply, without any delay, very straightforward.

As the Prime Minister of Chen, he notified other officials to surrender on the spot and refused to resist. So Guan Yu successfully controlled all the counties of Chen State, ending the history of Chen State belonging to Yuan Shu.

In late September, Guan Yu turned around and headed south towards Runan County.

In Runan County, which has a large area, there are many bandits and Yellow Turban Remnants, which is the base camp of Runan Yellow Turbans that cooperated with Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu became emperor and appointed several leaders of the Yellow Turbans of Runan, Liu Pi, Gong Du, Huang Shao, He Man, He Yi and others as generals, appointed them as miscellaneous generals, and were granted the title of Marquis of Ting, and appointed the leader Liu Pi as the prefect of Runan.

This is equivalent to in fact, the Runan Yellow Turban Army, which gathered hundreds of thousands of people and had tens of thousands of troops.

This made the Runan Yellow Turban Army recognized by the official and the pseudo-Chen Empire, which was equivalent to being "whitewashed", although the whitewashed themselves was a black empire.

But this is also considered a whitewash.

From a thief to a general, the Runan Yellow Turban Army became a loyal supporter of the pseudo-Chen Empire. The manifesto against Yuan was spread, and the news of Guo Peng's army going south was spread, the Runan Yellow Turban Army became very nervous.
