By the end of April, Guo Peng had already led his main force to Zheng County and sent troops to sweep the surrounding area.

Before, Guo Peng had been advancing in two groups, and the same was true after he set out from Hongnong County.

He ordered the general Zhao Yun to lead 30,000 troops from Hebei, and all the way to Linjin County, Chongquan County, Lianshao County, and Wannian County. The troops headed straight to Gaoling and deterred Chang'an from the north bank of the Wei River.

Guo Peng led the main army to Zheng County by himself, and sent vanguards Cao Chun and Zhang He to lead the troops to advance, sweep the east of the Ba River, and lead the army to set up a camp in Baling east of the Ba River, to intimidate Chang'an.

That's not all, so he ordered the general Cao Ren to lead his army 30,000 to attack Lantian County, conquer Lantian County, advance to Duling, and threaten Chang'an from the south.

Chang'an faces enemies three times, Ma Tenghan Sui and Zhang Ji are completely stunned.

In fact, things were not at this point. Anyone who sent a few troops to resist Guo Peng's army, put in a little effort, and resisted step by step, would not allow Guo Peng to advance so smoothly.

They seemed to really think that long-distance advances could exhaust the energy and energy of the Wei army, exhaust Guo Peng's supplies, and force out deserters, forcing Guo Peng's army to lose a large number of non-combat troops, and then they could face a small and exhausted Wei army.

Without even facing it, the Wei army withdrew its troops and collapsed. It could not be fought in this battle at all, and they won without a fight.

With such an idea, they returned to Chang'an and operated Chang'an with confidence, without caring about Guo Peng who was approaching.

And what's the result?

Guo Peng arrived in Hongnong in one month, and in nearly two months he arrived east of the Ba River, pushing the front directly under their noses.

The 100,000 army has not been reduced, and it is full of energy. Not only does it not weaken in combat power, but it also won a victory east of the Bashui River.

The vanguard of the Wei army, Cao Chun and Zhang He, took the lead in attacking, and wiped out the 10,000 garrisons led by Han Sui's general and son-in-law Yan Xing. Many Liangzhou soldiers were forced to flee to the Ba River and were eventually drowned.

Yan Xing lost his troops and generals, and fled with only a few dozen people, but was defeated.

Things have developed to this point purely because Ma Teng and Han Sui don’t want to fight with Guo Peng, they want to preserve their strength and want God to help defeat Guo Peng.

In mid-April, they received information about Guo Peng's approaching Chang'an area, but they stubbornly believed that poor traffic conditions would force Guo Peng to death and they didn't have to do anything.

But this was not the case. Guo Peng led an army of 100,000 dozen miles east of Chang'an, staring at them with great enthusiasm, which made them feel distressed.

Because I believe that Guo Peng can't come, they did not set up any defensive facilities east of the Ba River, nor did they dispatch many troops, so that the east of the Ba River was easily occupied by Guo Peng.

It was not until this time that Ma Teng and Han Sui realized that they had made a mistake, so they hurriedly arranged the defense battle in Chang'an, intending to defend Chang'an to the death.

"Even if we come here, Guo Zifeng will definitely be tired of the teacher and veterans. When facing the elite of our army, they will inevitably be weak. As long as we persist for a long time, Guo Zifeng will inevitably withdraw. Everyone does not need to panic. Be careful to guard Chang'an, and there will be no danger!"

Mahan and Han sent people to spread such news in the army to inspire the army to strive to defend the city, not to compromise with Guo Peng, nor to abandon the city and escape back to Liangzhou.

However, in private, Mahan and Han asked Yan Xing, who was defeated, whether the Wei army was tired of veterans and whether it was at the end of their strength.

Yan Xing shook his head repeatedly and said bitterly: "That's not the case. The soldiers and horses are full of energy and fight extremely fiercely, even surpassing our army. How could they look like soldiers and horses that cannot be eaten? They are completely different!"

Ma Teng and Yan Xing were very confident when they said this. After thinking about it, they felt that it was inappropriate. How could Guo Peng have such strong logistical capabilities?

How much food does he have?

Ma Teng and Han Sui couldn't understand, and Zhang Ji couldn't understand either. Their impression of Guo Peng was on the word "strong" and they knew very little about others.

They didn't know how strong Guo Peng had in mobilization ability, because the times were too far away, and they didn't even believe that a force could have such strong mobilization ability.

The mobilization ability of Qin, including the mobilization ability of Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty, is not comparable to that of Guo Peng now.

The mobilization ability of Qin was obtained after the transformation of Shang Yang, and the mobilization ability of Emperor Wu of Han was also obtained after the transformation of inaction and action to eliminate the powerful.

If you don’t make any changes and don’t make any efforts, you think you can get it. Is it possible?

impossible.

Although Guo Peng's mobilization ability cannot be compared with the Western Han Dynasty during the Qin Dynasty and Emperor Wu of Han, it is still more than enough to fight warlords like Ma Teng and Han Sui.

It was almost a dimensionality reduction attack.

Although it is thousands of miles apart, I will crush you too!

The only thing Guo Peng felt unhappy was that he didn't have enough time.

God gave him too little time. If he could save twenty years... No, even if he only had ten years, he would not be timid, not afraid, and not worry that he would not be able to open two battlefields at the same time.

Unfortunately, he doesn't have enough time and doesn't have that much time to accumulate.

So he decided to expose this anger to Ma Teng and Han Sui.

First, they violently crushed 10,000 Liangzhou troops on the east bank of the Ba River, and then advanced westward, attacking Chang'an from three sides, suppressing Ma Teng and Hansui's army tightly in the surrounding areas of Chang'an.

This place with no people, the military supplies are very problematic.

Although at Zhang Ji's suggestion, Ma Teng and Han Sui sent troops to reclaim some land around Chang'an and planned to build military camps, it is obviously not the season for harvest. Not to mention autumn grain, even summer grain cannot be harvested, so naturally they cannot support the battle.

Facing the aggressive Wei army, Ma Teng and Han Sui were completely stunned.

But it’s true that some people don’t believe in evil, and think that the Wei army is just like this and it’s not impossible to defeat it.

Ma Chao invited 20,000 troops and took his generals Pang De, his younger brothers Ma Dai, Ma Xiu, Ma Tie and others to decide to lead his army out of the city to challenge Guo Peng.

Ma Teng thought it was unreliable, so he kept Ma Xiu and Ma Tie and asked Ma Chao to take Pang De and Ma Dai out to try it out.

Han Sui also considered that Ma Chao was young and had insufficient experience in commanding troops, so he personally served as the head coach to suppress the formation for Ma Chao and stabilize the formation when necessary. Ma Teng said that he could.

So Han Sui led Ma Chao, Pang De and Ma Dai to form a formation out of the city, and collided with Guo Peng personally leading the troops to attack Chang'an City. The battle between the two armies was about to break out.

Guo Peng brought 30,000 troops to attack the city, but in fact he just came over to try the waters and check the strength of the city defense and the strength of the defenders, so he did not mobilize Zhao Yun and Cao Ren's army.

Seeing the battle flag opposite, he was wearing the words "Han" and "Pang", Guo Peng guessed that among the other generals, there should be Han Sui and Pang De. As for this horse, it could be many horses, such as Ma Teng, Ma Chao, Ma Dai, Ma Tie and Ma Xiu, etc., all of them can be counted.

I don't know which one it is.

But I can't care about that much, Guo Peng fought the flags of "Wei" and "Han" one after another, showing his existence to the enemy on the other side.

When the soldiers who were looking away came back to report the situation, Han Sui was shocked and said to Ma Chao: "Meng Qi, Guo Zifeng may have brought the troops in person."

"Guo Zifeng is here in person? That's great, I'm worried that I can't meet Guo Zifeng!"

Not only was Ma Chao not panicked, he was eager to try and was very happy.

It seems that Guo Peng's reputation is not enough to surprise Ma Chao at all. On the contrary, it can also stimulate Ma Chao's strong fighting will.
