The reason for this siege is very simple. Guo Peng has no problem with any crime he wants to avenge them. He has the initiative. He has no choice but to be punished.

He could find out any old accounts, or make some troubles with some reason, anyway, he wanted to get rid of the Southern Xiongnu.

For this reason, Guo Peng sent people to contact Nanlou and ordered Nanlou to send 30,000 troops to help him attack the Southern Xiongnu.

He ordered Nanlou to lead the army to Taiyuan County and to join him, and the army would advance from Taiyuan County and launch an attack on the Southern Xiongnu Shanyuting in Meiji.

At present, Guo Peng only occupied four counties, namely Xihe County where Zhang Yan served as the prefect, Shangdang County where Lu Qian served as the prefect, and Taiyuan County where Guo Peng's own son Guo Yi served as the prefect, and these three counties were consolidated, Guo Peng ordered Zhang Yan to lead his army to advance Shangjun.

Shangjun is also a typical border county with a vast land and sparse population. After occupying it, Guo Peng served as the prefect with his own son Guo Fan. At that time, General Yingyang, the current General Yingyang General Cao Xing served as the garrison. He moved 100,000 people fleeing from the mountains to enrich the population of Shangjun, reclaimed wasteland, and rebuilt.

In addition, the five counties, Yanmen County, Dingxiang County, Yunzhong County, Wuyuan County and Shuofang County, were not under the control of Guo Peng, but under the influence of the Southern Xiongnu.

The population of the Southern Xiongnu is far greater than that of the Han people living in the local area. If there are still Han people living in the local area.

Their erosion of border counties can be seen.

Faced with this situation, Guo Peng realized that he could not continue to indulge these people in Bingzhou to continue to develop their power, otherwise sooner or later, the entire Bingzhou would be controlled by the Southern Xiongnu, so he decided to take the initiative.

Guo Peng ordered Shangdang County, Xihe County, to transport the accumulated military rations to Taiyuan County, and ordered the military rations stored in Jizhou to Taiyuan County. He ordered Taiyuan Prefect Guo Yi and Taiyuan Governor Guo Dong to prepare for the army to arrive in Taiyuan County to fight.

At the same time, Nanlou received the order from Guo Peng, who ordered Nanlou to quickly lead 30,000 cavalry to Taiyuan County to join him to fight against the unjust Southern Xiongnu.

Nanlou did not dare to slack off, and immediately mobilized his own people to rectify 30,000 cavalry, led by him to advance towards Taiyuan County.

Although Nanlou is not young anymore, it is related to Guo Peng, and he must go on the battle himself, because this time it was Guo Peng himself.

Guo Peng led an army of 50,000 to attack the Southern Xiongnu as Duke Wei and General of the Han Dynasty.

This time, he arranged a lineup of 30,000 infantry and 20,000 cavalry. When the army of Nanlou arrived, there were 30,000 infantry and 50,000 cavalry, with a strong lineup.

"I go to war, and the rest of the government affairs will be handed over to Zhongde. Zhongde manages the rear for me. If you have any questions, come and ask me again."

"yes."

Cheng Yu nodded, and then took his left-behind ministers to show Guo Peng to the expedition.

None of them would doubt this was another victory.

What victory can bring is something that losers will never understand.

They worked hard to raise logistics for Guo Peng, looking forward to the news of victory.

Guo Peng is bound to win the five northern counties of Bingzhou.

This time, Guo Peng took Guo Jia and Xun You as the leader, and brought the new generals of the four directions of Wei, Cao Ren, Xiahou Yuan, Zhao Yun, Le Jin, and three relative generals, Cao Hong, Cao Xiu and Cao Chun, as well as the optimistic Zhang He, Xu Huang, Gao Lan, Zhu Ling and others.

Xu Huang, the brave general who saved his life at the time, still showed his role in the war, made contributions to the war against Yuan Shu and was promoted to the lieutenant.

This time, Guo Peng called on the name to bring Xu Huang with him, which made Xu Huang feel flattered.

Following a large group of generals, Xu Huang always felt that all this was not true.

Seeing the generals' strange gazes, Xu Huang felt a little scared again.

He didn't know why Guo Peng took it seriously.

"Why do you look absent-minded?"

Guo Peng rode on the horse, turned his head to look at Xu Huang with empty eyes, and asked with a smile.

"No...no, no, my subordinates have no souls."

Xu Huang quickly denied it.

"I'm giving you a chance, Gongming, you have to seize this opportunity. Not everyone has this opportunity."

Guo Peng smiled and reminded Xu Huang, and Xu Huang immediately made a statement, saying that he would never have any problems.

"You have worked with the people from the Southern Xiongnu and fought wars together. What are their characteristics?"

Guo Peng asked.

"The characteristics... fierce, brave, murderous, superb riding skills, especially good at riding and shooting, and other... nothing else. The men and horses under Duke Wei were well trained, and they were no less than the Southern Xiongnu cavalry, and they also had Wuwan cavalry help. The Huns would not be the opponent of Duke Wei."

Xu Huang recalled his past career a little.

"Of course they are not my opponents, but my enemies are not just the Huns."

Guo Peng smiled: "Gongming, I have many enemies. You must grow up quickly, let me see your achievements, and then, go and clear more enemies for me."

Is this a promise to me for the future?

Xu Huang was overjoyed and looked at Guo Peng with joy on his face.

In mid-September, Guo Peng led his army to Taiyuan County. Zang Hong, the governor of Bingzhou appointed by Guo Peng, led Taiyuan County Governor Guo Yi and Taiyuan Governor Guo Dong to greet him. Afterwards, Guo Peng entered the city and ordered the army to enter the barracks prepared by Guo Yi and Guo Dong.

"Nanlou's troops will arrive in Taiyuan in three days. Now our army is ready to attack, and the route of entry has been discovered, and the Southern Xiongnu Shanyuting seems to have received some news."

"Did the news come from us?"

Guo Peng looked at Zang Hong.

Zang Hong shook his head.

"According to the inside, it was reported from the Nanlou department. These Hu people don't understand what confidentiality is. Once the action is, the scale will be very dynamic and there is a habit of doing things in detail. They can know each other's actions. Let them keep them confidential, that's not even thinking about it."

"It doesn't matter, so what if you know? Can they still disobey me?"

Guo Peng said, "The Southern Xiongnu tribes have more than 200,000 troops, and the warriors are up to 50,000. Even if the Wuwan people and the rest of the Mihu who did not obey the orders of Wulou in the five counties, he would not have raised up 70,000 troops."

This is true, so Zang Hong was not worried that his group of people would not give the Southern Xiongnu a good look.

"Since we changed the original Southern Xiongnu Lao Wang to Guiyi Shanyu, the Southern Xiongnu has almost been integrated. The part that originally belonged to Fulu was annexed and collapsed by Guiyi Shanyu. Now he can fully control the entire Southern Xiongnu tribe."

"It's a best."

Guo Peng nodded: "I hope they will directly suppress all their troops, have a big decisive battle, and determine the outcome of one battle, so as to prevent them from running around. We will chase them everywhere, and the casualties of pursuit may be greater than those of frontal combat."

Everyone agrees with Guo Peng's point of view and thinks that what Guo Peng said is right.

Now that autumn is approaching, the weather has not turned cold yet, and it is the time to cool down. Guo Peng plans to end the establishment resistance of the Southern Xiongnu within one month, enter the final stage, and integrate the entire Bingzhou within this year.
