1102 Surrey and Furohan
In the memories of these Wei army veterans, this history really exists, making them walk step by step.
They fought with the generals and the current emperor as a big leader, defeating countless powerful enemies and winning countless times at a disadvantage.
Expand the territory bit by bit, become the world's number one prince, then the world's number one force, and finally the world's only emperor.
Unfortunately, after conquering Guanxi and conquering Hanzhong, His Majesty the Emperor did not lead his troops directly to the expedition again.
His Majesty the Emperor retreated to the second line and gave the opportunity to lead troops to his former generals, thus creating the now famous Five Tiger Generals.
When His Majesty was still leading troops to fight, the Five Tiger Generals were just the generals who were following the orders of His Majesty.
Your Majesty is the real only commander of the Wei army.
This is the consensus among veterans.
However, at that time, the general trend of the Guo and Wei regime had already been established, the north had been unified, and the basic foundation of the Wei Empire had been solidified.
The Five Tiger Generals just continued this glory based on the foundation laid by Guo Peng. They used their absolute advantage to wipe out the three major forces in Jiangnan at that time and basically unified the whole country.
Having said that, the greatest credit was still not theirs, because the Wei Empire had been established at that time, and the greatest credit for establishing a country undoubtedly belonged to His Majesty the current emperor.
They will follow such a powerful commander and emperor to win a refreshing victory together.
This is something that the big-headed recruits have never encountered since joining the army.
Follow His Majesty the Emperor to fight.
What a glory.
They embarked on the journey with His Majesty the Emperor with great pride.
On the same day, June 20th, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's army also swore an oath to fight according to the scheduled plan and set foot on the endless grassland.
There is a very important issue when the Central Plains army attacked the grassland in the northern expedition, that is, to recognize the way.
There are not so many signposts on the endless prairie, and it is very difficult to avoid getting lost without people familiar with the roads and directions.
When the flying general Li Guang participated in the Northern Expedition, he was embarrassed and angry because he lost his opportunity to fight and finally committed suicide to apologize.
Once you get lost on the endless prairie, the blow to the life and morale of the army is really huge.
Therefore, Guo Peng began planning the route several years ago during this Northern Expedition.
He kept arranging the merchants of the Cao family caravan and the Mi family caravan to go north to find the settlement of Xianbei people, find out the route, and then bring it back to the staff station, where the staff station draws a map, and then hand it over to the army for use.
This time, not only were there guides, but also drew precise maps. All preparations were the most complete, and the combat conditions were much better than Emperor Wu of Han's northern expedition to the Huns.
So the three armies advanced together and headed towards the position of Langjuxu Mountain.
While the Wei army was advancing, the Xianbei people had not yet received accurate information.
Before the mobilization of Hebei, Guo Peng arranged for Yan Rou to take charge of Hebei and mobilized spies from Linzi camp in various parts of Youzhou in Bingzhou to snipe indiscriminately against those who might inform the Xianbei people, killing a group of people who might inform the Xianbei people.
Although the Xianbei people escaped into the northern part of the world, they have never given up on the temptation of going south for many years. Although they were beaten back by the Wei army every time, they never gave up.
This is also the reason why Guo Peng strongly advocated the Northern Expedition.
After tasting the taste of meat once, I will never forget it in my life. I will always want to eat it and enjoy it. I will never let it go easily. Once I have the chance, I will definitely make a comeback.
When Zhang Fei was there, there were wars every year, and the Xianbei people were once afraid of Zhang Fei.
But every time Zhang Fei tempted them to go south, there were always Xianbei people willing to go south. It was the wealth of the Han area that made them unwilling to give up anyway, so they had to try it no matter what.
Then he was constantly being cleaned up by Zhang Fei.
After Zhang Fei went to Liangzhou, the border guards would still get some information from time to time, receive some reports about the Xianbei people going south, and then continue to mobilize to strangle the Xianbei people.
Think about it, at the moment when the temperature is getting colder and colder, the Xianbei people are located in Langjuxu Mountain, and they should feel the impact of climate change earlier than the Wei people.
Their cattle, sheep and horses will decrease, and the rich water and grassland will decrease. The year will worsen, and some people will go hungry.
Faced with such worries, in addition to fighting each other to seize each other's survival resources, we will also continue to try to move south.
Once you taste the sweetness, you will definitely pounce on like a hungry wolf who tastes blood.
After all, people have to eat.
So if you don’t have a thousand days to defend against thieves, if a thief keeps staring at home and never gives up, the best way is to kill him.
In order to better obtain intelligence, the Xianbei people will inevitably not reduce their investment in intelligence.
Everyone knows this.
However, what the Xianbei people were not very clear about and could not understand was that the Wei Empire implemented a complete household registration system, and each household had a way out, a way out, and a record.
People who do not have household registration inexplicably should be suspected. Once they are suspected, they will inevitably become the key monitoring targets.
Linzi Camp initially discovered many such Xianbei spies. Later, Guo Peng's instructions not to kill them as soon as they were discovered, but to monitor them, change their response strategies, and monitor all similar spies found.
This surveillance will naturally find who they have contact with, what channels they use to learn the news, and then start to do it after the information network is completed, pull out the radish and bring out the mud, and take it in one pot.
In this way, many Xianbei people's intelligence networks have been destroyed over the years and many insiders have been killed.
However, despite this, if Linzi Camp completely controls the situation, I can't think of it completely certain whether there are still some insiders who continue to lurk.
Before Hebei's mobilization, after Guo Peng ordered a strict blockade, with the mobilization of Hebei, everyone who should know could know that the Wei Empire was going to attack the Xianbei people.
Therefore, Linzi Camp strengthened surveillance and unplugged some very good hidden secrets.
Despite this, there was still news that was blocked and sent to the Xianbei side through time and was founded by Su Li, one of the two major officials of the Xianbei.
Suli was a little surprised and scared after learning about the news of the Wei Kingdom's mobilization in Hebei. Although he was not sure what Wei Kingdom was going to do, according to his judgment, he felt that it would most likely be unfavorable to the Xianbei and was very dangerous.
So he decided to put the dispute aside for the time being, and sent someone to go south to inquire about the news, while sending someone to share the news with his opponent Fu Luohan.
Suli is not stupid. If the Wei people really fight, he will definitely not be able to withstand it alone.
If he hadn't helped Luo Han, he might as well prepare a funeral dog for himself in advance.
Fu Luohan was shocked when he learned the news and quickly sent someone to contact Su Li.
After confirming that this matter was true, he made an appointment with Suli to meet in a place that both parties could accept.
As the only two remaining Xianbei leaders, there is a competitive relationship between Suli and Fuluhan.
After they entered Mobei, they fought for life and death for survival resources all year round, but it was not difficult to let them put aside the dispute in the face of their common enemies.
After all, they were all beaten to the north of Mobei by Guo Peng. If it weren't for Guo Peng's sweeping round, they would still be comfortable and plundering the Han people on the southern border of Mobei to live a good life.
Why bother to eat sand here with wind and wind?
But no matter what, the two are in a competitive relationship and can join forces if necessary, but in such necessary circumstances, mutual precautions cannot be reduced.
