The Han Empire was nervously preparing, and the Yellow Turban Army was in full swing. At this stall, the Han Empire's response strategy was developed.

Lu Zhicheng was appointed as the General of the Northern Army, leading some of the Five Northern Army Clans and the emergency recruited soldiers of more than 20,000 people to be responsible for the Northern Front and deal with the main force of Zhang Jiao.

Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun each led an army, controlling some of the Five Northern Army Clans and Sanhe Knights and the newly recruited elite soldiers and warriors, a total of more than 40,000 to attack the Yellow Turban Army in Yingchuan.

According to the information summary obtained during this period, the main force of the Yellow Turban Army was concentrated in Jizhou, Hebei. This is Zhang Jiao’s hometown, with many believers and very strong power.

In addition, there are also Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou and Yanzhou, and there are also Yellow Turban Army in Yuzhou, but the number of people and the intensity of the outbreak are relatively small.

So the court made a judgment that the Yellow Turban Army in Hebei was the main force, while the Yellow Turban Army in Henan was not the main force, but was just supporting.

Therefore, the court decided to be weak first and then strong, and the main elite soldiers and generals of the main force wiped out the Yellow Turban Army in Henan, and then went north to support Lu Zhi's troops who were dealing with the main force of the Yellow Turban Army.

Lu Zhi took the initiative to lead a few troops to deal with the main forces of the Yellow Turbans.

In order to gain time, he proposed to go north to face Zhang Jiao, and Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun should lead the elite main force to attack the Yellow Turban Army in Henan as soon as possible, and then quickly go north to attack the Yellow Turban main force.

Lu Zhi's noble character was respected by Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, and the strategy was determined.

On the same day, Yang Biao submitted a letter and requested Guo Peng, the northern lieutenant of Luoyang, to be the Sima of Changshui, to lead the army of Changshui and his army, and to join Lu Zhi in the battle with Hebei.

Sometimes, some things really depend on luck. When you are lucky, you can't stop them. If you are well prepared, this will be even more so.

Because at this time, it was Yuan Shu who was the Changshui Captain.

Although the Yellow Turban Army was full of mobs, it was large in number and powerful, and Yuan Shu was very upset.

Moreover, as the orthodox heir to the fourth generation of the Three Dukes Yuan, it would be too frustrating to die in the hands of mud legs on such a battlefield.

After thinking about it, Yuan Shu relied on the Yuan family's energy in the court to get off the position of Changshui Captain and chose a Qinggui position that would not be sent out to fight.

As a result, the position of Changshui Captain was vacant and no suitable candidate was found for a while. So Lu Zhi seized the opportunity and asked Yang Biao to recommend Guo Peng as Changshui Sima, and led a Changshui cavalry who wanted to accompany him to Hebei to follow him to the battlefield.

The original Sima led another team of troops to follow Huangfu Song south into Yingchuan and fight against the Yellow Turban Army.

Guo Peng is only less than twenty years old and has too little experience. Although he made great contributions to expose Zhang Jiao's conspiracy and capture Ma Yuanyi alive, it would be a bit unreasonable to be the Changshui Captain, one of the five captains at this time.

So Lu Zhi retreated to the second best, and aimed at the position of Sima Changshui as his goal, and indeed got this position for Guo Peng.

The position of Changshui Sima led 350 cavalrymen, including his own thirty soldiers, and gathered 380 cavalrymen and handed them over to Commander Guo Peng, and followed Lu Zhi to the battlefield in Hebei.

When Guo Peng heard the news, his emotions were very complicated.

He was very excited, feeling that his efforts were rewarded and finally had the opportunity to make a name for himself, but he was also a little scared because he didn't know whether his ability could gain a foothold or survive in the real battlefield among the army.

He has killed many people and has experienced real battles. His fear of death is not that strong, but he has never visited the battlefield in person and never known the true appearance of the battlefield.

It is impossible not to be afraid, he knows this clearly.

In addition, he was worried about Cao Lan's son who was only one year old. He was worried about what if he died on the battlefield, the mother and son should do, live and grow.

He didn't know how to explain this to Cao Lan clearly.

Cao Song knew it, and was very worried about Guo Peng, but he also supported Guo Peng to go to the battlefield. Cao Cao also knew it. He envied Guo Peng for having the opportunity to go to the battlefield and could show what he learned. However, Cao Lan was a woman and his wife. How should she say such words?

Guo Huo, Guo Mu, Guo Shui, Guo Peng, and thirty elite family soldiers also need to take them to the battlefield as their own personal guards. Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Dun did not consider it at all and directly asked to follow Guo Peng to the battlefield. Cao Ren hesitated for a moment and proposed to go to the battlefield.

He seemed a little scared, and he was also the youngest, but he still proposed to go to the battlefield with him.

"You don't have to go."

Guo Peng advised him like this.

"I must go!"

Cao Ren is so persistent.

Since he insisted, Guo Peng would not stop him.

Originally, if Zang Hong was there, Guo Peng wanted to call Zang Hong, but Zang Hong happened to go back to his hometown to celebrate the ceremony and get married. If he is not in Luoyang, Guo Peng has no choice but to go back to his hometown.

After learning the news, Guo Peng's fame and connections in Luoyang played a role. Many rangers who were favored and cared for by Guo Peng asked Guo Peng to follow Guo Peng to go to the battlefield and repay Guo Peng's kindness to them with their lives.

These rangers had certain force and horses. Guo Peng had no reason not to agree, so he pointed out the amount and collected 137 people, so the cavalry under Guo Peng increased to 517 people.

Before sending troops, it took time for the army to prepare. During this period, Guo Peng returned home and explained the matter to Cao Lan.

Cao Lan's little face turned pale and she immediately stepped forward to hug Guo Peng. She said nothing but she burst into tears, making Guo Peng feel very uncomfortable, but he must go to this battlefield.

Years of planning and accumulation will bear fruit in this war. As long as he survives, he will get a real political capital. This capital is so important. Whether the things he has accumulated in Luoyang for eight years can be realized depends on this battle.

"Wait for me to come back."

Guo Peng left only four words to Cao Lan, so he asked Cao Lan to take Xiao Guo Jin to Cao Song's mansion and asked Cao Song and Cao Cao to take care of the mother and son.

Cao Song held Guo Peng's hand tightly and told him to come back safely. Cao Cao had nothing else to say, but he still encouraged Guo Peng, saying that men would gallop on the battlefield to serve the country, and that whenever he had the chance, he would definitely go to the battlefield.

He will have a chance.

Guo Peng nodded and devoted himself to the preparation of the army.

In his early years, Guo Peng learned about the common concepts of grassroots soldiers in this era. Following Lu Zhi, Guo Peng learned the art of generals to control the subordinates.

Generally speaking, in this era, the maximum number of troops that a general can directly command is only 5,000, and more than 5,000 soldiers are not allowed to be properly commanded by a general.

Information communication can become a huge problem, resulting in the inability to fight normally.

Moreover, generals with weak command capabilities cannot command an army of 5,000 people. Only generals with the strongest command capabilities can undertake the command tasks of 5,000 people at the same time. On top of this, troops will inevitably be divided into groups.

At that time, it was the responsibility of the commander. The commander did not directly command soldiers, but commanded the generals to convey instructions to the generals. The generals conveyed the instructions to the grassroots officers and soldiers, and the army acted according to the instructions.

Among them, the coordination and cooperation of horns, war drums, military flags and other transmission tools is required, and the implementation of generals and well-trained soldiers is also needed.

It is not easy to train an obedient force and takes a lot of time. The general must reach the most basic running-in with the soldiers. Otherwise, the soldiers do not know the general and the general does not know the soldiers, and command is a difficult problem.

Naturally, the smaller the number of people, the easier it is to cooperate with the training. The general who was on the battlefield for the first time was extremely impressive.

Lu Zhi believed that Guo Peng could only lead 500 people to experience it at most, and there would be problems if there were more.
