"You are indeed at fault, but it was something I didn't expect from Yuan Shao's sudden attack. It would be irrational to expect you to use three thousand troops to fight against 15,000 Tuo Yi."

Guo Peng comforted the two of them.

He also heard that Du Xi had made great achievements after being appointed as the county magistrate of Geguo County.

Du Xi personally led people to the fields to cultivate, lived next to the fields every day to check the growth of grain, and was very concerned about the conditions of the fields and did not dare to slack off at all.

When Guo Peng led his army to fight, he completed the task of autumn harvest and the task of repairing water conservancy in winter, and had done the task of spring plowing well before.

When Yuan Shao suddenly sent troops to attack, Du Xi was the first to get the information. After receiving the information, he did not panic. Instead, he immediately arranged for the people in the county to escape, took away a lot of food, and burned all the things that could not be taken away, not leaving them for Kuo Yi.

Not only did he minimize the losses, but he also led the tyrant to carry out the investigation tasks. He was brave and knowledgeable and had done everything he could.

"Zixu, you have done a lot. The outcome of the war between tens of thousands of people cannot be reversed by you, a county magistrate. However, the crime of losing land cannot be reduced, so you will be fined for one month's salary to show your warning."

Guo Peng helped Du Xi up and forgave Du Xi's fault. Du Xi burst into tears for thanking Guo Peng for his tolerance and generosity.

Then Guo Peng also helped Cao Ren up.

"Zixiao, you are indeed defeated, but it is not an unforgivable defeat. The losses are still within the scope of my patience. Therefore, you will also be fined for one month's salary to show your warning."

Cao Ren also shed tears and thanked Guo Peng for his tolerance and generosity.

The accountability has been completed, and the next thing is the main business.

"All heroes in the world swore to fight against Dong Zhuo. When Dong Zhuo was about to be defeated, Yuan Shao actually launched an attack on us. With a clumsy excuse, the wolf's ambition could tell at a glance that what was the point of not punishing such treacherous slander? I not only want to defeat Yuan Shao, but also express his sins! Severely punish such treacherous slanderer!"

Guo Peng gritted his teeth and ordered the literature that followed the army to engage in Chen Lin's writing of the manifesto to attack Yuan Shao and publish it to the world.

Chen Lin was so literary, and a gorgeous anti-thief manifesto was completed overnight. Guo Peng was amazed after reading it. After reading it, Xi Zhong, Guo Jia and Cheng Li were also quite amazed.

Guo Peng immediately ordered dozens of copies to be copied and sent to various prefectures and counties, and then personally led his troops to the front line.

When Coach Yi learned that the Qingzhou army opposite had actually posed the banner of "Left General Qingzhou Governor", he was shocked.

He didn't know that Guo Peng was back so quickly, so he immediately sent someone to verify, but learned that the Qingzhou army had launched an attack.

Kuo Yi immediately formed a formation to fight, but found that the Qingzhou Army's combat effectiveness had reached several levels and could hardly resist it.

After the two armies fought, the Jizhou soldiers were quickly penetrated. Tuo Yi knew that he was not Guo Peng's opponent, so he decisively left the Dead Guard's rear and led the main force to evacuate quickly.

In this battle, Que Yi lost a lot, lost thousands of people, and then fled the front line, retreated to the city of Geguo County and defended the city, and immediately sent people to ask Yuan Shao for help.

Guo Peng took all the captured Jizhou soldiers under the county town of Geguo without any ruthlessness, beheaded all the defenders in front of the garrison, and burned the corpse.

Then he led his troops to attack the county town of Geguo, surrounded him on all sides, and looked like he was dying.

Tuo Yi was also stunned by the sudden and crazy offensive of the Qingzhou Army. He was surrounded before he could react. The food route was cut off quickly by Guo Peng's cavalry. Now he could only grit his teeth and defend the city to the death, waiting for support.

While commanding the army to surround the county of Geguo, Guo Peng monitored the reaction of Yuan Shao's Jizhou army.

He planned to kill Tuo Yi, then attack Jizhou, give Yuan Shao some color to let him know that the sky is high and the earth is thick!

At my home court, what else do you want to do?!

The news of Que Yi's defeat and seeking help came back to Yecheng. Yuan Shao was shocked and immediately summoned his aides to discuss.

The main advocates Xu You and Feng Ji looked surprised, and they didn't expect Guo Peng to come back so quickly and attack so sharply.

"We must immediately increase troops to support Qu Yi. We cannot let Qu Yi's entire army be wiped out. Otherwise, our army will suffer too much and Jizhou's vitality will be severely damaged, which will be very unfavorable to the general's great cause!"

Xu You suggested immediately.

Feng Ji also supported Xu You's opinion.

Ju Su from Jizhou has different opinions.

"The general entered Qingzhou without a title of righteousness. Once he was condemned by Guo Qingzhou, he would be very passive. At this time, he should immediately ask for peace to repair relations with Guo Qingzhou and withdraw the Tuo Yi army.

This is the correct way to preserve strength to the greatest extent, Xu Tu’s rear-end moves. Continue to increase troops and expand the war. Once the losses are too large and the vitality of Jizhou is damaged, how should the general’s great cause plan?"

Ju Su's suggestion was approved by Tian Feng.

Tian Feng had already complained about Yuan Shao's attack on Qingzhou.

He felt that Yuan Shao did not have the right to be a righteous person, and his appearance was ugly, which was extremely easy to be condemned in public opinion, which was not conducive to future struggles.

But Yuan Shao had sent troops, and he had no choice.

Now that the attack has failed, Guo Peng led the army back to aid, the situation has undergone fundamental changes.

With Guo Peng's famous general, Que Yi is obviously not an opponent. If the entire army is wiped out, the Jizhou army will suffer a heavy blow, which will have a great impact on Yuan Shao's future great cause.

After Ju Su and Tian Feng said this, Yuan Shao immediately became a little suspicious of himself, feeling that he should do what Tian Feng and Ju Su said.

"Does Ju Jun and Tian Jun think that the general is not Guo Qingzhou's opponent?"

At the moment of hesitation, Xu You suddenly said this.

Yuan Shao frowned immediately.

"Please reconcile? The battle is not a winner. We will first ask for reconcile. This is to increase the ambition of others and destroy one's own majesty. If the matter is spread, how should the general handle himself? Harmony can be reconciled, but it must be evenly matched, otherwise it will be defeated! How can the general be faced?"

Yuan Shao thought it was very reasonable when Xu You said this.

Tian Feng immediately refuted.

"This is a matter of not taking morality. How can we be evenly matched? We no longer have the upper hand in terms of great righteousness. If we don't gain the upper hand in war, wouldn't that give Guo Qingzhou an excuse to march into Jizhou? At that time, Guo Qingzhou will lead the army to invade Jizhou, but there is still an excuse. Should you resist Guo Qingzhou or should I resist Guo Qingzhou?"

"Do you still think the general is not Guo Qingzhou's opponent?"

Xu You asked a heart-killing question.

Tian Feng, who has a straight personality, refuses to flatter him.

"Guo Qingzhou is good at using troops, which is something that everyone in the world knows. Dong Zhuo is so cruel, and he is still no match for him. He fled back to Chang'an in a panic to avoid Guo Qingzhou's military attack. The general thinks he can lead his army to attack Dong Zhuo and welcome the sage?"

Tian Feng's statement that he did not give face at all made Yuan Shao feel a little embarrassed and annoyed.

But Yuan Shao himself had to admit that Tian Feng was not wrong.

In terms of troops and formations, Yuan Shao is far less experienced and successful than Guo Peng. Guo Peng has been famous for a long time and has long been famous as a famous general. His record is very good and he can make any move in any battle.

Yuan Shao did not have such a record. He bit the bullet and said that he could fight better than him, and he also needed to have the record as evidence.

He did not have such a record as evidence.

But how can you say that your lord is inferior to others?

Tian Feng's political awareness was really not high, which made Yuan Shao really unhappy, but he could not directly scold him, as it would make him seem to have no stomach.

"Tian Yuanhao! Don't speak nonsense!"

Xu You helped Yuan Shao say what he said in his heart, angrily scolded Tian Feng: "The general's magnanimous posture, four generations and three masters, how can Guo Zifeng compare with a destruction? In the face of a great enemy, you don't plan for the general, but you promote the enemy's courage and belittle the general. What is your intention?"

Only then did Tian Feng realize that he was addicted to explaining the truth, but forgot to give the Lord some face.

So Tian Feng showed a panic look and looked at Yuan Shao. Seeing that Yuan Shao's face was unhappy, he had to admit his mistake and stop saying anything.

Yuan Shao did not blame Tian Feng, but his suggestions were not adopted. Yuan Shao decided to guarantee his dignity and defeat Guo Peng, and then talk about anything else, so he ordered the army to go on an expedition.

Yuan Shao first dispatched 10,000 troops to march towards Pingyuan Kingdom. With the chief commander Yan Liang and Wen Chou as the deputy generals, he led this group of troops to go out to the expedition first.
