Eighty-six Guo Peng goes south to East County

The war was over, and the resistance of the Yellow Turban Army ended. Many people died, and many people were alive and begging for mercy.

Dong Zhuo told Lu Zhi that he would kill all these people and form Jingguan, in order to warn those who are planning to rebel in the future and think about the consequences, which can be a deterrent effect.

Guo Peng knew that in the original history, Huangfu Song did this, killing 100,000 people, and using the heads of 100,000 people to form Jingguan, which was so powerful that he became the number one general of the Han Dynasty, and was in the limelight for a while.

But Lu Zhi refused, saying that doing so would be too tyrannical and would cause people to be heartbroken and would cause the place to be even worse, so he must not do so.

Lu Zhi arranged for the county magistrates from all over the country to bring people back to their jurisdiction to enrich the population, and at the same time he scolded these people, so that they could remember the consequences of doing so and punish them.

Dong Zhuo was dissatisfied with this and complained to Guo Peng in private.

He felt that Lu Zhi was too easy to forgive these rioters. These rioters might even get up to make trouble in the future. Only killing can shock people and let them know their fear and dare not make trouble.

"Mingfu, have there been fewer Jingguan built in dynasties since ancient times?"

Guo Peng poured a glass of wine for Dong Zhuo.

Dong Zhuo frowned and didn't understand what Guo Peng meant.

"If you can't eat, no matter how much Jingguan you cast, they will still rebel. Hungry cannot be filled with Jingguan. If the Yellow Turbans are not allowed to rise again, the only way is to let the people eat their stomachs."

After hearing Guo Peng's words, Dong Zhuo unexpectedly felt that it made sense, but this did not match his usual style of conduct. Although he felt it made sense, he still liked his own style.

Moreover, he has heard too much of this kind of empty talk, and it seems that he can do it with just a few words.

It’s light to say, eating a full stomach, but eating a full stomach is so difficult. Dong Zhuo himself deeply understood it when he was young.

In order to earn fame, he would rather go hungry than let his subordinates and friends eat enough. This is how he came here.

He felt that Guo Peng was still too young to see through the sins in this world, and had never been hungry or cold, and had never experienced that kind of thing.

However, he was inconvenient to say some things, so he praised Guo Peng.

"I am worthy of being a disciple of the great Confucian scholar. Zifeng made great contributions this time. After returning, I am afraid there will be unexpected generous rewards!"

Dong Zhuo toasted Guo Peng, who raised his glass with a smile.

"Ming Mansion has been awarded too much, but Peng has made a small contribution. The main contribution is the teacher. Moreover, Peng is only twenty years old, so I think he can't get promoted much."

Dong Zhuo thinks that is, but Guo Peng's contribution is not simple. If you don't get promoted now, you can be given priority when you get promoted in the future. Therefore, it must be a super potential stock and it is necessary to have a good relationship.

So before separation, Dong Zhuo gave Guo Peng some wealth and thirty war horses to make a good match. Guo Peng gave Dong Zhuo some seized gold and silverware, and wrote a letter to Dong Zhuo.

After this battle, Dong Zhuo's troops were transferred to the north by the court, and there were still some yellow-turban soldiers in Zhuo County that needed to be wiped out, so this task was handed over to Dong Zhuo.

Lu Zhi dispersed the Hebei Yi soldiers and brought more than 16,000 troops to the east county of Yanzhou when he came, where some of the Yellow Turbans were also active.

After resolving the Yellow Turban Army in Dongjun, we must go south to Nanyang, meet Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun's troops, and completely quell the Yellow Turban Rebellion.

After the complete extermination of the Yellow Turban Army, we will give it together, and we will continue to fight. In short, we have to put the rebellion on the ground. In short, we have to work hard.

This time, Lu Zhi sent scouts to collect information first and obtained information about a Yellow Turban Army gathering in Dong'a County, Dongjun and moving towards Cangtingjin.

According to scout investigation, the number of Yellow Turban soldiers was about 30,000. The powerful and powerful soldiers from Dongjun were fighting with them. Their situation was not good, and it was not difficult to wipe them out.

However, there are many Yellow Turban thieves and few righteous soldiers in the county, so there is always a risk of being compromised.

After Lu Zhi learned this, he decided to use Guo Peng as his vanguard and lead three thousand infantry and cavalry to Dongjun to meet with the Rebel Army to pinch the main force of the Yellow Turban Army. Lu Zhi led the main army to follow closely.

After receiving the order, Guo Peng ordered a thousand cavalry and two thousand infantrymen to speed up the march. Four days later, he arrived in Dongwuyang County on the north bank of the Yellow River, where he replenished food and grass and some weapons. It was August 11th.

Early in the morning of the 12th, Guo Peng led his army across the river and arrived in Cangtingjin.

As a result, just as five hundred cavalry crossed the river, they encountered an attack from the Yellow Turban Army, with a number of about five hundred. Guo Peng made a quick decision and immediately led the cavalry to rush out, giving the Yellow Turban Army a headache.

Before the Yellow Turban soldiers could form a battle, they were defeated by Guo Peng, leading cavalry. The Han army killed most of the Yellow Turban soldiers, and the rest fled.

Later, Guo Peng asked the Cangtingjin defenders about the Yellow Turban Army here and learned that the main force of the Yellow Turban Army was besieging Dong'a County, with a total number of around 30,000 people. The leader was Bu Ji.

Buye sent someone to harass Cangtingjin before and was repelled. If Guo Peng had not arrived in time this time, Cangtingjin's eighty-odd people would definitely not be their opponent.

The Yellow Turban Army usually takes the elderly, weak, women and children and other families together, so the total number of more than 30,000 people is only five or six thousand soldiers, and at most it will not exceed seven thousand. It will definitely not be much more than the troops in Guo Peng's hands, forming an absolute advantage in military strength.

Faced with such a gap in numbers and their style of taking their families together, Guo Peng had an idea.

Guo Peng analyzed that he wanted to attack Cangtingjin, probably because he was planning to cross the river to Hebei to meet with the main force of the Yellow Turbans. As for attacking Dong'a County, it was probably for plunder and supplies.

Guo Peng thought for a moment and sent Xiahou Yuan to lead the scouts to find out the news near Dong'a County, search for news about the main force of the Yellow Turban Army, and then see if Dong'a County has been captured by the Yellow Turban Army, and then Xu Tu raised the next step.

Xiahou Yuan came back that afternoon and said that Dong'a County was still resisting, and the Yellow Turban Army was besieging Dong'a County, and it seemed that Dong'a County was in danger.

Guo Peng nodded and ordered Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Dun and Cao Ren to rectify the troops. He decided to try to fight with Bu Yi, and could not bring the troops over but was afraid to move forward. This was not his style of Guo.

Faced with the remnants of this Yellow Turban Army, Mr. Guo still wanted to try whether his ability to fight alone had improved when he was separated from Lu Zhi.

After months of military career, Guo Peng felt that he had changed a lot from the inside out. Now, it is time to test whether this state is reliable.

When Guo led his army to Dong'a County, Bu Yi, the leader of the Yellow Turban Army, also knew that the team he sent to occupy Cangtingjin had failed.

He was defeated by a Han cavalry. This Han cavalry was quite sharp, and his soldiers were no match for that cavalry at all.

Bu was already nervous, so he immediately guarded the troops and returned to the camp, stopped attacking Dong'a County, leaving only some troops on guard against a few defenders in Dong'a County, and then made every effort to prepare for defense to deal with the upcoming Han army.

The Yi soldiers defending troops in Dong'a County felt very strange. The Yellow Turban bandits who were still attacking the county town had withdrawn their troops and returned to the camp. Looking at the sky, it was only afternoon, and there were more than two hours before sunset. It was not the time to withdraw their troops and return to the camp, right?

Cheng Li, the leader of the rebel army, stood on the city wall and observed the situation of the Yellow Turban Army, and suddenly felt something was wrong.
