Ninety-five Guo Peng's preparations
On the way, Guo Peng, Zang Hong and Cheng Li exchanged their views on the current situation in the north, and they all believed that the situation was not optimistic.
Since the failure of the Northern Expedition, the Han government has lost the ability to organize the Northern Expedition on a large scale. At present, on the northern defense line, the Han government actually does not have much strength to attack except defense.
The Wuhuan Camp that Guo Peng could command and his family soldiers had only more than 2,000 people.
Even if you go to the local area to recruit, you will only recruit more than 3,000 at most, and you will not be able to organize a decent Northern Expedition.
So if you want to deal with them, the best way is not to confront military affairs, but to sow discord.
It makes them unable to unify, but their internal conflicts can never be resolved, and there will be constant internal struggles, so that the Han Empire can benefit.
This is Cheng Li's specific idea, and the strategy has to be formulated according to local conditions after the local situation. However, there is no doubt that before this, Guo Peng needs to show his courage.
If you communicate with the leaders of the Wuhuan Xianbei at his age, you will only be laughed at and be despised. He needs prestige and prestige that makes those guys afraid of.
In short, it is to establish authority in war and there is no other way.
It is hard to say anything else in northern Xinjiang. There are too many opportunities for war, because the Xianbei and the Huns always like to go south to rob, and there is no way.
Cheng Li formulated a strategy for Guo Peng, asking Guo Peng to rectify the army, train cavalry, make friends with the Youzhou Governor, gain a foothold, and then send people to search for information, accumulate information, and prepare for war.
When the next time the Xianbei or the Huns go south again to rob his defense zone, he will be able to deal with the barbarians directly.
Before this, Guo Peng still needs to make a lot of preparations.
The first thing to do is to go to Ji County to meet the clan before arriving in Ning County.
Guo Peng and the clan had a good relationship during the war. They drank and chatted with each other. The clan was very polite to him and is still very polite to him now.
Because Lu Zhi was promoted, Guo Peng's status and future expectations rose. As a leader, as a border general, it is necessary to establish a good relationship with Guo Peng.
"I really didn't expect that after I was promoted to governor, the one who succeeded the Captain Huwuwan was Zifeng. Zifeng was young and promising, and good at governing the army, so she would definitely do this position well."
The clan praised Guo Peng first, but it is absolutely right to praise him first.
Guo Peng smiled bitterly and said, "The envoy is a mischievous person. The envoy also knows the last general. The last general has only been in the army for half a year. Although he has made military achievements, his experience is still small. He is even more unclear about the position of Huwuwan Captain, and he has no experience before.
This time, the position is entirely due to His Majesty’s favor, so the last one will be trembling with this, unable to sleep for several days and nights, for fear that he will not be able to respond to His Majesty’s entrustment. This will hurt Your Majesty’s wisdom in knowing people. Personal honor and disgrace are small, and the ruling power is damaged, and the matter is big."
This scene is really worthy of being a disciple of Lu Zigan.
The clan secretly applauded this impeccable scene.
Originally, Lu Zhi had already written to him, asking him to take care of Guo Peng and give him more advice and guidance in the position of Huwuwan Captain. He will definitely do this. Once he does it well, Lu Zhi will owe him a favor. This favor is very valuable and the clerk will definitely make good use of it.
So the clan set up a formation to tell Guo Peng about the current situation in the border area and the problems he, the Huwuwan Captain, needs to face, etc. After talking for a long time, Guo Peng barely clarified the relationship here and knew that he had a heavy responsibility.
At the same time, Guo Peng also knew that the situation of the clan was not good, and he also had his own worries.
The unscathed Youzhou Yishang, the local tyrants, the covetous Xianbei people, the restless Wuwan people and the Southern Xiongnu were all in trouble.
His arrival and commanding the army are also good for the clan members, which means that the camp soldiers and county soldiers in Youzhou can coordinate their command when necessary, without any disorder. He also received strong foreign aid
Guo Peng himself led more than 2,000 cavalrymen who were good at fighting.
With the confidence of the cavalry commanded by himself, the clerks have more reliance on their work.
Therefore, the clan members will do their best to assist Guo Peng in charge of military preparation and preparation, assist him in mastering the Wuwan Camp, coordinate with the Yuyang Camp, and establish his status.
But at the same time, he also hopes that Guo Peng will keep pace with him, become his support when dealing with matters, and his troops under his command will also become the bargaining weight for him to negotiate terms with all ethnic groups.
The Captain Huwuhuan had always had to establish good relations with the governor of Youzhou, otherwise the two command systems of the two armies in the two sides would be inconsistent with each other, which would be very troublesome. Guo Peng could guarantee this.
After receiving Guo Peng's guarantee, the clan was very happy and opened the Youzhou Treasury to allocate a large number of weapons and leather armor to Guo Peng. Among them, the one that made Guo Peng happiest was fifty pairs of black armor.
Generally speaking, ordinary soldiers are equipped with leather armor, while iron black armor is excellent equipment that only elite troops can equip. They even equip cavalry to turn them into heavy cavalry, which has heavy impact power that light cavalry does not have.
When attacking the Yellow Turban Army, Guo Peng had the most soldiers under him, and only seven deputy armored soldiers. Now the clan directly allocated 50 deputy Xuanjia to Guo Peng, which was a generous gift.
In this way, Guo Peng can build heavy cavalry. Although there are fewer numbers now, it is of great significance to use it at critical moments.
Guo Peng thanked the clan for his help, and then led his subordinates to Ning County and entered the Huwuwan Camp's Office. He then formally sent people to announce to the surrounding tribes in accordance with the standard procedures that he became the new Huwuwan Camp's Office.
This can only be said to be a process and has no practical significance. Moreover, if the other party knew that Hanting sent a 20-year-old young man to be the Captain Huwuwan, he would probably joke and even look down on Guo Peng.
Guo Peng didn't care and asked his family to clean up the mansion. Guo Peng began to build a military camp for his troops, and then set up camp rules, such as washing hands before and after meals, not drinking raw water, etc., to prevent the situation of not adapting to the local environment.
Then, we went to Wuwan Camp to take over the command of the Wuwan Camp troops and let them serve themselves.
Guo Peng brought a lot of money over and immediately summoned all the soldiers from Wuhuan Camp, and pointed the points, 1,069 people.
Then Guo Peng ordered a large military parade to test the combat skills and riding skills of the soldiers in the Wuhuan camp. Those who meet the standards will be rewarded, and those who do not meet the standards will be dismissed and left home without leaving.
He must first clean up a batch of unsuitable people and streamline their personnel.
After two days of inspection, Guo Peng eliminated 110 soldiers who did not meet his standards, and most of them actually met the standards.
After all, living in a border area and being prepared for war at all times is impossible to be a weak brigade.
Guo Peng’s elimination of soldiers is not mainly based on their combat skills.
In fact, most of their combat skills are fine. Guo Peng is still seeing some of the problems they reflected in the drill.
