Five hundred and two that day, Guo Peng had already thought of it
Although the Xianbei after the split was far less terrifying than when it was unified, it was not said that it should be said, the population is still there, the foundation is still there, and from time to time, it also went south along ancient routes to invade and robbery.
Guo Peng several times ordered Xianyufu and Tianyu to lead the army to garrison in Liaoxi County, appoint Tianyu as the prefect of Liaoxi, and set up ambush on the only way for the Xianbei people to go south, but the effect was not great.
Over time, the Xianbei people in this area really pinch Youzhou as a soft persimmon.
This time, nothing is so good.
Guo Peng personally led 50,000 cavalry to attack. Wherever he saw the Xianbei tribe, he waved his hand, and the army rushed forward, killing, arresting, and looting supplies. He was like a bandit, beating the Xianbei people to the point of crying and crying, shouting to their mothers and running away in a panic.
Apart from that, they had no other way to fight against Guo Peng, and they had no unified command.
When they realized that the threat was very high and wanted to gather together to fight Guo Peng, too many tribes were destroyed by Guo Peng's troops.
After Xun You observed the state of the battle between the Wei army and the Xianbei people, he made his own suggestions to Guo Peng.
"Our army is superior to the Xianbei, both individual and group combat power. Xianbei is dispersed and our army can certainly defeat strong enemies, but we cannot achieve full results. Why not break them into pieces and divide the army into dozens of thousands of cavalry teams and scatter them out in all directions.
The time limit is set, and each of them eliminates the Xianbei tribes they encounter, and they can react and try to gather all their strength to fight our army. Then our army will also gather, and use aggregate to gather, so that they will be sure to win."
Guo Peng adopted Xun You's strategy, and based on the fact that his individual combat power was completely superior to the Xianbei cavalry, he adopted the tactic of breaking up the whole into pieces.
He will turn the 50,000 troops into dozens of thousands of teams and scatter them out in all directions, giving the generals a fair stage to show their own performance.
The generals were very excited. They attacked quickly and captured Xianbei people everywhere as guides, defeating the Xianbei tribes scattered on the grassland one by one, destroying one by one when they encountered one by one, and destroying one when they encountered one by one.
Guo Peng was surrounded by thousands of Tiger Guards, advancing with everyone, constantly eliminating the Xianbei tribes he encountered and the insignificant resistance.
A few times I encountered more than one thousand resistance troops, but were easily wiped out by Guo Peng.
Although it took a longer time from March to May, the Xianbei tribes that were destroyed were real.
The plan is vicious, but it is effective. When the Xianbei people try to unite, there are no enough people to gather together to resist Guo Peng.
However, because of the rapid advancement and long distance from the border, the logistics cannot keep up, Guo Peng decisively ordered everyone to disperse and fight with war, plunder and eat on the spot, so as to continue fighting.
Eating from the enemy is a tactic, but the risk is relatively high, because there is no guarantee that there is enough food to eat, but there is food in the place where there are people. The generals will bring the captured cattle, sheep and horses to the army. When they are hungry, they will slaughter cattle, slaughter sheep and roast meat, and eat them. The food is actually quite good.
From the beginning to the end, the biggest resistance was the head-on confrontation between more than 5,000 Xianbei cavalry and Guo Peng. Apart from this, there was no resistance from the established Xianbei cavalry.
The tragedy of losing unified command can be seen.
The split enemy is not scary at all, but once unified, it will be scary.
We must take advantage of the time when the Xianbei people were not unified, so that they could not be unified and prosper, and then decline.
During that biggest resistance, Guan Yu, who was following Guo Peng, showed his courage, took the lead in charge with a spear, and exerted his personal courage to the extreme. He led five thousand Hu Han cavalry to completely shock the Xianbei cavalry. In the end, the five leader-level figures were killed by Guan Yu and captured three.
Guo Peng praised Guan Yu severely.
"Yun Chang is brave, I will only see you today!"
Guan Yu's face turned red with joy.
Then Guo Peng noticed Guan Yu's long beard.
"The cloud's beard hasn't been trimmed for a long time, right?"
"The body, hair and skin are affected by their parents, and they dare not damage them. They just keep it in this way and never trim it."
Guo Peng nodded.
"Does this beard fall off?"
Guan Yu nodded.
"When it's cold, two or three will fall. If you accidentally pull it, a few will fall."
“It’s quite inconvenient.”
Guo Peng smiled and said, "Let me do this, I'll ask someone to make a cloth cover for Yun Chang to protect his beard. Otherwise, this beautiful beard would be too a pity."
"Thank you, Mr. Wei."
Guan Yu was overjoyed and thanked Guo Peng.
Since then, the title of "General Bearded Beard" has risen in the army. Guan Yu will be called General Bearded Bearded Wherever he goes, with a complacent face and regards his beard as his life. No one can touch his beard randomly, and even Zhang Fei, who is closest to him, should not touch his beard randomly, so as not to hurt his beard.
For this reason, some generals thought that Guo Peng might like military generals with long beards, so in order to cater to Guo Peng's preferences, they also began to follow the trend to grow beards, which was quite funny.
This wave of big sweeps has been swept for more than two months.
When Guo Peng knew that Zhao Yun had successfully killed Bu Dugen and killed the Xianbei there, it was almost June.
At this time, Guo Peng led his army to the vicinity of Bailang Mountain and prepared to enter Youzhou from here and return to Jizhou.
It has to be said that this war is about to end.
The success of this war is somewhat beyond imagination, but it cannot be said that it is not reasonable.
The combat effectiveness of the Wei cavalry has been fully verified. The strong unified command of the legion against a scattered sand will not be able to achieve such an effect, but will make people laugh.
According to current statistics, after sweeping all the way, at least more than 50,000 Xianbei cavalry were killed, more than 300,000 Xianbei people were captured, and the number of livestock exceeded 700,000. The auxiliary soldiers and civilians who were responsible for transporting supplies had to take on the task of escorting the prisoners.
The Xianbei and other Zahu along the border between Bingzhou and Youzhou were swept away, and some of the cut-off heads were cast into Jingguan by Guo Peng to stand on the border to deter those who wanted to come and cause trouble.
This is just a small fight, it is really a small fight, a small fight that has only been preparing for four months.
The real battle to scoop up the country in the future will take more than a year to prepare for a war of more than 100,000 cavalry.
Go deep into the grasslands, completely defeat the Xianbei people into Northern Huns, swept them all the way, either dead or surrender.
That day, Guo Peng had already thought of it.
On the day when it seemed like it was still a long time to establish an empire, Guo Peng had already thought of the future of that day and his own.
