Cheng Yu and Tian Feng were both leaving, and they all went to the war with the army and followed the emperor.

This dramatic result not only shocked the officials who had previously speculated about this, but also shocked Cheng Yu and Tian Feng.

They didn't expect that Guo Peng would keep no one, take both of them away, and directly let the crown prince preside over the daily operations of the Shangshu Desk.

Even if the crown prince is to preside over the presidency, he must leave one person among Cheng Yu and Tian Feng to assist, so that the crown prince can get started with government affairs faster.

After all, the Shangshutai is the core of the state's government affairs. There are a large number of officials and the government affairs are complex and diverse. Without a veteran who is familiar with Shangshutai and can mobilize the work of various departments and systems, it is difficult to quickly get started with Shangshutai's affairs.

But no one expected that the Shangshu Ling and Shangshu Pushe would stay and take them all away.

In a better way, the emperor wants to temper the crown prince's ruling ability and give the crown prince an opportunity to train.

To put it bluntly, it means that the emperor does not trust Cheng Yu and Tian Feng and thinks that as soon as he leaves, Tian Feng and Cheng Yu are going to cause trouble again, so he simply takes them with him.

It has been a long time since they still haven't won back the emperor's trust?

This really made them feel frightened.

The emperor took away the two leaders of the Shangshutai and left behind other officials who were specifically responsible for their affairs.

Of course, there are officials who don’t have to follow the emperor to run to the front line, but they can’t stay in Luoyang, such as Dong Zhao, the Minister of War.

He is the general logistics officer of this Northern Expedition. In order to do a good job in logistics, Dong Zhao naturally would not stay in Luoyang, but in Hebei.

Specifically, it is on the front line of food and grass dispatch in Bingzhou. Xiahou Dun, the Governor of Bingzhou and Xian Yufu, the Governor of Youzhou, will be assisted by the dispatch of food and grass logistics of the army together, and there must be no errors.

After the administrative issues were basically solved, Guo Peng began to arrange military issues again.

This expedition was commanded by Guo Peng himself, and his troops were divided into three groups, advancing in unison, sweeping across the northern part of the Mobei region, completely swallowing the Xianbei region.

However, Guo Peng alone obviously cannot directly command an army of nearly 100,000 or nearly 200,000, so he also has to arrange candidates for other generals.

The central army led by him was constructed by the main force of the guards, and brought Cao Hong, Cao Chun, Li Dian and Guo Dong as the main generals.

Regarding the personnel allocation of the left and right armies, Guo Peng decided to transfer Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhang Liao's subordinates, Xu Huang, Zang Ba, and Tian Yu under Yu Jin's subordinates, to command troops respectively.

Guo Peng decided to use Guan Yu as the commander of the left-wing army and Zhang Fei as the commander of the right-wing army. He took the two of them to serve as their right-wing arm and sent troops together with him and advanced together.

If the Xianbei people sent troops to resist, they would defeat them, and then encircle them around, surrounding the Xianbei people's nests, and cutting off their way to escape.

When Guo Peng personally led the main force to completely defeat the main force of the Xianbei people, they needed to assist Guo Peng to completely swallow this nomadic tribe with a population of more than 500,000.

This time, Guo Peng did not use any of the Five Tiger Generals, but used five people other than them to take them out for battle.

You can't think of the Five Tigers or something as soon as you fight. The Wei Empire is not without other excellent generals. If you really want to talk about it, it means the difference between experience and military achievements.

And this time, these five people have something to do, and they can't get the draw.

Zhao Yun guarded the central government, Cao Ren guarded the western frontier, Yu Jin guarded the Liaodong, Lejin guarded the southwestern border, and Zhang Liao guarded the Yangzhou.

Except for Zhao Yun and Cao Ren who currently have no combat missions, the other three may face various combat missions at any time.

Especially Zhang Liao, Guo Peng has ordered Zhang Liao and Taishi Ci to join forces to go out to sea to find Taiwan Island and be ready to set out for exploration at any time.

The Five Tiger Generals are not suitable for dispatch at this time, so it is natural to use the generals of the Second Group.

Moreover, they have made great achievements and are very capable, so Guo Peng does not need to worry too much.

It is natural to say that Guan Yu's ability to command troops and fight in battles is summarized by the word "straightforward" and he is never ruthless in fighting, which is especially suitable for this kind of grassland-based combat.

Not to mention Zhang Fei, the reason why Guo Peng asked Zhang Fei to lead his troops to be the chief general of the army was because Zhang Fei was too familiar with this prairie and too familiar with the Xianbei people. He didn't need any arrangements from Guo Peng. Zhang Fei could make a wonderful game by himself.

Give Guan Yu 30,000 troops and Zhang Fei 10,000 troops, so that they can advance together with the main central army led by Guo Peng, as the left and right wings. This is the only tactic of the Wei army.

Simple and crude, unreasonable.

When it was strong enough, the Wei army no longer needed to design many tactics when facing powerful enemies as before, but now it does not need to.

They themselves have the most powerful tactics, and their combat power, organizational power and mobility are the strongest tactics.

No matter how much the Xianbei people resisted, they could not compete with the charge of the Wei army head-on.

The real torrent of steel will teach them to be human.

In May of the fifth year of Yande, Guo Peng's order was implemented.

The three northern expedition troops set out from Yunzhong County, Yanmen County and Shanggu County in Youzhou.

Guan Yu led 30,000 cavalry to set out from Yunzhong County, Zhang Fei led 10,000 cavalry to set out together with 30,000 cavalry to Wuwan, the troops of Shanggu County.

Guo Peng himself led 130,000 main troops to set off from Yanmen County.

In this battle, the Wei army dispatched 170,000 troops, plus 30,000 cavalry troops from Wuhuan, Shanggu County, and a total of 200,000 people.

Guo Peng drew the main force of the imperial guards and the main force of the guards as his own main force.

Zhang Fei led his headquarters to follow him to fight south and north, and after arriving in Shanggu County, he would attack with the 30,000 cavalrymen from his old acquaintance, Nanlou.

Guan Yu led the 20,000 elite cavalry drawn by the Northwest Corps. After arriving in Yunzhong County, Bingzhou, 10,000 cavalry set out from Yuyang Camp would also join Guan Yu's army and supplement Guan Yu with 30,000 people.

Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others received an order as early as April to lead the army to set off. After visiting Guo Peng through Luoyang, they gathered straight to the designated attack point.

Guo Peng asked the entire army to arrive at the designated attack point before the tenth day of June, and then after ten days of rest and preparation, they will officially attack.

June 20, the fifth year of Yande, was the day when the entire army set out for the Northern Expedition.

The entire Wei Kingdom has started to move.

In April, all prefectures and counties in Hebei began a comprehensive mobilization, with auxiliary troops from all over the country in place, civil servants from all over the country in place, counting manpower, arranging tasks, and preparing for attacks.

After the cleaning, the surviving and newly appointed officials, including the townships and village chief executives, led the strong men and women from each township and village to gather at designated locations, took famous brands, assigned tasks, loaded various materials, and started transportation work.

They transported all the supplies in various military arsenals spread throughout Hebei to the front-line starting point.

We must even take one step ahead of the army to open up the food route and lay the foundation for the army's advancement.

A large amount of reserved food, meat, weapons, materials, etc., moved from the Hebei arsenal to the starting point of the army assembly. Every county in Hebei can see people transported to the army with various means of transportation.

Dong Zhao had already gone to Hebei to arrange the transportation of food and grass, and Xiahou Dun and Xian Yufu also started to move.

Now, we must start the action according to the previously determined plan and transport the food and grass to the designated location first. This is the so-called "three armies will move forward before they move the food and grass."

Logistics is in full swing with a comprehensive outbreak of mobilization actions.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei also led their respective troops toward the designated departure location.

The entire Hebei has been ready for war and entered a state of war, ready to contribute to this war burning.
