Eight hundred and seventy-one conquest of Liaodong
No one can object to Guo Peng's will.
Not to mention that most people now don’t want to object at all, they all want to make contributions and receive rewards, and make a great contribution at the last moment of the unification of the world.
The battle to destroy Liaodong was the last battle for the Wei Empire to unify its country.
Although the Shu Han War has just ended and the Jiangnan has just been pacified, there are still many local battles to fight, and there are many places to use troops.
However, under the guidance of Guo Peng, the will and momentum of the Wei Empire to unify the country was too fierce.
It was so fierce that there was almost no one who could stop it.
Almost immediately, after the surrender ceremony, the battle to pacify Liaodong was asked to start.
Everyone knows that their emperor Guo Peng does not do things that he is unsure, and everything he does is confident.
So the same is true for the battle to destroy Liaodong.
This is not a bad head, but a strong confidence.
The Yangzhou was used to destroy the materials from Xuzhou and Jiujiang and Lujiang counties, as well as a small part of the materials from Yuzhou.
The pacification of Jingzhou was mainly to mobilize the power of Yuzhou, but Jingzhou surrendered quickly and the war did not start much. Yuzhou's vitality was preserved intact, and the next thing was the matter of Jingzhou.
The materials obtained from Guanzhong and Hanzhong and the attack on Jingzhou were used in the battle. The battle ended in two months and did not consume too much material. The food and fodder accumulated by the Wei Empire for many years of military farming and cultivation can be dealt with.
These are all materials and mobilizations in the Central Plains and Kansai region.
The destruction of Liaodong was made of materials from Jizhou Youzhou and Bingzhou. The last time the land of Hebei launched a large-scale war was the Bingzhou War and the Battle of Xianbei after pacifying Yuan Shao, which has been several years since it was held.
The three prefectures in Hebei have been recuperating for several years. There are large-scale military farming and road construction in Youzhou, Bingzhou, Jizhou, Bingzhou, Youzhou, and piles up like mountains of food and grass, abundant supplies and manpower, which is the time to start a war.
Then there is financial resources.
Some officials suggested that there were two consecutive wars in the second year of Yande in the first year of Yande, with frequent large projects in various places, and there were continuous small battles in Jiangnan, which was a great pressure on the finances.
They think that the battle to destroy Liaodong can be slowed down a little and give everyone a breath.
Wang Can, the Minister of Finance, stood up and, in line with Guo Peng's will, announced the accounts of the Ministry of Finance.
The books show that the Wei government's fiscal revenue in the first and second years of Yande was not a deficit, but was a slight surplus, so it was not difficult to deal with this war of unification.
Many people think that the Wei Empire's finances must have been fake, otherwise why is it so rich and able to fight without losing the treasury?
In the pre-Han period, fighting a battle of tens of thousands of people would have to fight the treasury to an empty carriage. From top to bottom, there was nothing short of money.
But since Guo Peng started his career, he felt that he had never lacked money. Things that were impossible to solve by the former Han Dynasty and the great sages of the Han Dynasty did not seem to exist here in Guo Peng. He could use the money to do whatever he wanted to do, and it was also very good.
Some people understand the tricks here, but they keep silent and dare not speak nonsense, for fear of offending some people.
There are also some people who really don’t understand it very much, but they also feel a little uneasy and dare not ask randomly, just pretend that it doesn’t exist.
Many people's thinking is actually still in the era when the imperial court was short of money in the pre-Han period when warlords were short of money. They felt that there was a lack of money in the world and disasters could occur in any place, so there would be no stable and prosperous enemy.
But now are two completely different periods.
Times have changed.
Doesn’t Guo know about the fundamental problem of lack of money in the Eastern Han Dynasty?
Is he very 13?
So from the beginning, he kept consolidating his economic foundation, developed carefully, accumulated grain, and became the emperor slowly. Only in the end did he become the final winner.
Large-scale farming has allowed Guo to be short of food, the official business of salt and iron has allowed Guo to be short of money, and the policy of connecting official coins to grain has allowed Guo to be firmly controlled.
Mr. Guo holds the initiative in his hands.
Most emperors of the former Han Dynasty could not control the initiative at the national level.
Years of construction have made him profitable in some places.
Some places still need to continue to invest, such as Guanxi and Jiangnan, but the fiscal revenue of these places has been sufficient to support his continued expansion of territory.
He founded the country by patting his head. After years of preparation, the Guo-Wei Empire he established was not a 60-year-old man who was already sixty years old at the beginning of the establishment of the Western Jin Dynasty.
He is indeed not that rich, because there are too many places to spend money and too many places to carry out construction, and spending money like flowing water.
But he was indeed not so short of money. Otherwise, the military farming, the official business of salt and iron, and the official minting of coins would have become meaningless policies.
His years of efforts allowed him to control the economic trends of the entire empire. He knew exactly when to stop and when not to stop.
So there is no doubt about the progress of this battle and continue to advance.
"This battle does not require mobilization of Bingzhou. The grain of Jizhou and the locals in Youzhou are enough to support the army's operations. Liaodong lacks a population, and Gongsun Du's army is said to be 100,000, but according to our exploration, it is actually only 30,000 to 40,000 people. Our army does not need to mobilize too many troops or fights, and can also destroy Gongsun Du."
In the staff platform, when discussing the strategy and tactics of this battle, Xun You, who returned from Shu, put forward his own views.
"Not only, Gongsun Du has a good relationship with the local barbarians in Liaodong. If Goguryeo and the Three Koreans send troops to help, there should be more than these people."
Xi Zhong added: "All of all, if Gongsun Du wants to resist, it is not difficult to really pull up an army of about 50,000 people. If our army wants to slap Gongsun Du, at least there shouldn't be much less troops than him."
Guo Peng nodded.
"Although it is the last battle, a battle that will win, we cannot underestimate Gongsun Du. Gongsun Du seizures Liaodong and destroys wealthy families. His control over Liaodong is beyond ordinary people's ability to compare. It is not difficult to raise 50,000 people with diplomacy, and our army cannot be missed."
After thinking for a while, Guo Peng asked, "The preparations for Guangyang Camp are almost completed. Yu Wenze has trained 30,000 troops and horses. This time, it can be used. Guangyang Camp will stand up. In this battle, we will use some elite troops and cooperate with the new recruits from Guangyang Camp to fight. It can be considered a training battle."
After the end of the Yangzhou War, he was transferred to Ji County, Guangyang County, Youzhou in the north and was responsible for governing the Northeast Corps.
Guo Peng ordered Yu Jin to recruit 30,000 troops in Youzhou and Bingzhou, Jizhou, Youzhou, and Bingzhou. As the troops of the Guangyang Camp that was about to be established, it could be useful when attacking Gongsun Du.
At the same time, Guo Peng also ordered another change to the Wei army camp, changing the original four camps into six camps.
Guangyang Camp is the sixth camp of the entire Wei army group.
The previous four are Luoyang Daying, Chang'an Daying, Chenliu Daying and Danyang Daying.
Each battalion has basically 30,000 troops, and cooperates with the command of the local garrison troops in the guarding area to be under the jurisdiction of the local garrison army. During wartime, they are all under the command of the governor of the battalion to dispatch battles.
This time, the Luoyang Camp, as the Central Corps camp, will naturally not change anything. Everything will be the same, guarding the entire Luoyang Jingzu area between Tongguan and Arc deputies.
The Chang'an Camp has been ordered to be moved to Hanyang County, Liangzhou by Guo Peng, and renamed Hanyang Camp. It exists as the general base of the Northwest Corps. It is under the command of Cao Ren, guarding the northwest Liangzhou and guarding the Guanzhong area.
The Danyang Camp, located in Danyang, did not change any changes. It was still under the jurisdiction of Zhang Liao, who was responsible for guarding Jiangdong, serving as the general base of the Jiangdong Corps, attacking Shanyue, and opening up the southern border. The task was very important and far-reaching.
The Chenliu Camp, which was in Chenliu, was obviously not suitable for existence after the attack on Jingzhou and Yizhou, so after the attack on Jingzhou, it began to move to Jiangling, Nanjun in general.
Now that Yizhou has been conquered again, the situation has changed. There is no need for Lujiang County Governor's Army, Shangyong County Governor's Army, Nanjun Governor's Army, and Hanzhong County Governor's Army, so they are all abolished.
Later, a large camp was obviously not enough, so Guo Peng simply split the large camp into two large camps.
One was placed in Jiangling, Nanjun, and was the Jiangling camp. He was mainly responsible for the war in Jingzhou, was responsible for the continuous development of the four counties in Jingnan, and prepared for the subsequent march to Jiaozhou.
The other one was placed in Chengdu, for the Chengdu camp, guarding Shuzhong, and preparing for the subsequent attack on Nanzhong.
Chenliu's camp was divided into two parts, and Le Jin was alone, so Guo Peng thought about the contributions of this army to Yizhou, and was promoted to Zhu Ling as the governor of Jiangling Camp. He was in charge of the 30,000 troops of Jiangling Camp. Guo Lie was appointed as the deputy governor and Zhu Ling's deputy, and jointly guarded Jingzhou.
Le Jin was naturally the governor of Chengdu Daying, and he was in charge of the 30,000 troops of Chengdu Daying. During the war, he could command all the troops in Yizhou, allowing veteran Li Qian to serve as his deputy to guard Yizhou together.
So six large camps of the Wei army were established, and at the same time, a group of new garrisons took office.
The four counties in Jingnan, Wuling County, Changsha County, Lingling County and Guiyang County each set up garrison troops.
Cai Mao was appointed as the commander of the Wuling County Governor's Army, Xu Huang was appointed as the commander of the Changsha County Governor's Army, Wen Pin served as the commander of the Lingling County Governor's Army, and Gan Ning served as the commander of the Guiyang County Governor's Army.
They all followed Zhu Ling's command and continued to promote control of the four counties in Jingnan based on the previous Le Jin.
In Yizhou, Guo Peng also accepted the foundation that Liu Zhang had laid in Jingxian County and Yueli County, and ordered the establishment of the Jingxian County Governor's Army and the Yueli County Governor's Army.
Huang Zhong was appointed as the commander of the garrison army of the garrison army of the garrison army of the garrison army of the garrison army of the garrison army of the garrison army of the garrison army of the garrison army of the garrison army of the garrison army of the garrison army of the garrison army of the garrison army of the garrison army, and they accepted Le Jin's command together.
Cao Chun and Li Dian were transferred back with the Central Army after the war, while Guan Yu and Cao Xiu did not go back for the time being. They still accepted Le Jin's command and would participate in the second phase of the war in Shuzhong.
The decision to deal with these camps has ended, so the establishment of the sixth camp, Guangyang camp, is inevitable. It is necessary to guard the Northeast region and serve as the military center of Hebei.
Yu Jin is of course a well-deserved candidate for the governor. Guo Peng will also hand over to Yu Jin to command the battle, so that Yu Jin will lead the Northeast Corps to be fully responsible for this war and attack Gongsun Du.
Of course, during this battle, three troops were still sent.
The Wei Empire actually had a lot of knowledge about Liaodong's geography. After years of infiltration, the geography and climate of Liaodong were not a problem in the Wei Empire's staff.
So when I was obstructed by Liaoze and Liaoshui when I sent troops to Liaodong, Guo pointed to the map and proposed his own plan to send troops to two groups.
"Our army did not need to pass Liaoze at all. It was mainly Zhang Fei and Tianyu. It detoured northward, detoured from the grassland, and directly rushed from Liaoxi County to Xuantu County. The Xianbei along the way had been wiped out by our conquests over the years. Zhang Fei and Tianyu's horse team were equipped with jerky meat, and he used the horse team camel to transport rations!
The other route was Yu Jin's main force, and he boarded the boat directly from Yuyang Port, took the sea route, landed directly to Pingguo County, headed north, passed Wen County, Anshi County, Xinchang County, and went straight to Xiangping! Gu wanted Gongsun Du to know that he thought he could block our army's Liaoze and Liaohe River, which had never been in Gu's eyes!"
Guo Peng punched the Liaodong map with a hard punch.
This is a safe route that has been explored between commercial trade between Central Plains Business and Tourism and Liaodong over the years. Of course, it is also the contribution of Taishi Ci Navy. In order to pacify Liaodong, Guo has long been thinking about the sea.
If the road in Liaodong is difficult to drive, then abandon the land and go directly to the sea. With the ship and transportation capacity he has mastered, it is easy to land directly on the Liaodong Peninsula and rush to Xiangping County by sea.
So the second marching strategy was confirmed in this way.
This is Yu Jin's second way.
There is another way, the third way, Taishici's navy.
Starting from Qingzhou, take the sea route, landing from North Korea, first destroying the three South Koreans, then destroying the sacred and occupying the Korean Peninsula.
Mr. Guo started the war for the entire Liaodong, not just for Gongsun Du.
After this, Guo Peng wanted to count the Liaodong area and the Korean Peninsula together, and really set up a new state-level administrative unit, called Pingzhou.
Naturally, no one would object to the strategic plan proposed by the emperor. Xi Zhong and Xun You led the staff to plan the army's march route, plan various advance preparations and arrangements, etc.
Dong Zhao, the Minister of War, who was in charge of logistics, joined the discussion with the Ministry of War team.
According to Guo Peng's instructions, a specialist was sent to the counties of Jizhou to mobilize grain and fodder, and then to Youzhou to organize and mobilize civilians. The auxiliary soldiers in the army must also be mobilized and organized. Before the army starts war, the food problem along the way must be solved.
The Wei army had an inherent process for marching and combat, but the implementation locations were different. This time, Jizhou and Youzhou, which had accumulated food and fodder and had many years of people, were about to face a test.
The governor of Jizhou, Han Hao, the governor of Youzhou, Xian Yu Fu, and the governor of Qingzhou, Mi Zhu, respectively, rushed to Luoyang to report their duties and joined the war discussion.
A special report was made on transportation and food and fodder issues in Jizhou, Youzhou and Qingzhou.
After a series of rectification preparations, by mid-August, all plans had been approved and implemented. By late August, the plans that needed to be implemented have basically been implemented locally.
Han Hao, Xian Yufu and Mi Zhu issued strict orders in Jizhou, Youzhou and Qingzhou respectively, and each supervised Jizhou, Youzhou and Qingzhou to mobilize wars.
