He did what he said, and Guo Peng ordered the army to select a group of captured Jizhou soldiers to send to the county town of Geguo.

Then they killed all the defenders in front of the county town, and showed the captured battle flag and the head of the main general Wen Chou to the defenders in the city, and told them that the reinforcements had been eliminated by the Qingzhou army and that if they did not surrender, they would have a way out.

If he surrendered, Guo Peng promised that he would not kill them as the governor of Qingzhou.

Under a strong psychological offensive, there was a problem in the city.

Many soldiers hope to surrender.

"My family is still waiting for me to go back, I don't want to die!"

"The reinforcements were beaten away, and we will be trapped here!"

"After eating the food, let alone the people outside, we will starve to death!"

"I don't want to die, I don't want to die!"

"Surrender, surrender! Didn't Guo Qingzhou say that? If you surrender, you can survive!"

"Yes! Surrender! Surrender can survive!"

Once such an atmosphere occurs, it cannot be stopped just like a plague spreading.

Soon, from the top of the city to the city, a large number of desperate soldiers had the idea of ​​surrender, and eventually gathered into a powerful momentum, demanding that the main general Que Yi agree to surrender.

Tuo Yi was unwilling to surrender. Betrayal of Han Fu and Yuan Shao had already made him famous. If he betrayed Yuan Shao again, wouldn’t he be a slave of the three surnames?

Who dares to use himself then?

Wouldn't your reputation be completely ruined?

He didn't believe that Yuan Shao would sit down and watch his troops be trapped in the city.

Yuan Shao will definitely come to save him. Although I don’t know what the result is, now there is enough food for two months.

He adopted the strategy of releasing grain from Xiaohu.

By not giving soldiers enough food, the rate of food consumption can be slowed down, so that it can be delayed for another half a month. The total amount can last for nearly three months. In these three months, Yuan Shao will definitely find a way to save him.

This is how Queyi planned, but the soldiers may not think so.

Guo Peng asked the loud-sounding soldiers to keep calling into the city, asking them to give up their fantasies of nothingness and stop making unnecessary sacrifices, surrender, and go home. Guo Qingzhou promised not to kill them and let them go home.

The soldiers in the city became more and more restless.

Just so happened that at this time, Kuo Yi used a small hu to release food. The soldiers were not full, so they were very dissatisfied and worried about his life.

So some people began to spread rumors that there was not enough food in the city, and that Que Yi wanted to take everyone to die with him.

Such rumors are really quite marketable and soon spread to the entire army. After enduring for three days, someone finally couldn't help it.

On March 28, a very fierce internal strife occurred in the county town. Those who wanted to surrender and those who did not surrender formed a battle between two factions, and the city was in chaos.

When Guo Peng heard the news, he was overjoyed and immediately seized this great opportunity and immediately led his troops to attack the city.

Cao Hong led the way and took the lead in killing the city wall with a large shield. He fought with hundreds of soldiers in blood and opened the city gate. Yu Jin led his army into the county town, and everything was decided.

In the chaos, Que Yi fought bloody battles with his own sanitary soldiers. With his strong will, he led a few personal soldiers out of the city and fled north in a panic. Guo Peng sent people to chase him, but he did not catch up.

However, the Yuan army defenders in the county were wiped out, more than 3,000 were killed in battle, and all the rest were captured.

Yuan Shao's Qingzhou strategy has been completely failed at this point, and the failures are simply and the losses are particularly large.

Although he was leading an army of ten thousand people to Qingyuan County, Wei County, he soon realized how stupid he had done.

On March 28, Guo Peng recovered the county town of Geguo and completely expelled Yuan Shao's army from Qingzhou, while Yuan Shao also received the manifesto written by Guo Peng's order Chen Lin.

That manifesto to attack Yuan Shao.

This manifesto made a big fuss about Yuan Shao's identity as a concubine's son, and also mocked Yuan Shao for being a monkey.

He was obviously a concubine's son, but he shamelessly acted as a mighty man in the name of Yuan. He regarded the orthodox Yuan's heir Yuan Shu as nothing and insulted Yuan Shu. He ignored the superiority of the legitimate and illegitimate concubine and acted boldly.

The manifesto also discussed Yuan Shao's life experience and boldly proposed the statement that Yuan Shao was not the blood of the Yuan family, which just echoed the statement that Yuan Shu slandered Yuan Shao was not a descendant of the Yuan family when he was having a quarrel.

Yuan Shao was immediately angry and ascended to heaven and two Buddhas, and almost fainted. Then he shouted desperately to hit Qingzhou and chopped Guo Peng's head down as a ball.

As a result, not long after, on the evening of March 29, Yuan Shao met Yan Liang, who had finally escaped from his life at the Qingyuan County headquarters.

The two knelt in front of Yuan Shao and were trembling and begging Yuan Shao for mercy.

"You are defeated? A total of ten thousand troops, are you defeated?! Wen Chou is still dead?!"

Yuan Shao looked at Yan Liang in disbelief, hoping that he was joking with him.

Of course he also knew that how could anyone joke about military and national affairs?

Xu You and Feng Ji were also frightened and could not say a word. Unexpectedly, before Yuan Shao's army arrived, Yan Liang was wiped out and Wen Chou's life was ruined.

This made their strategies and strategies vain.

Yuan Shao was just scolded by Guo Peng's declaration and was almost fainted. Now, when he heard the news, he turned his eyes and fainted.

Unlike the previous times that he pretended to faint for various reasons, this time, Yuan Shao really fainted, was so angry that he was breathing too fast, and fainted.

The people around him were in chaos.

And during Yuan Shao's coma, more bad news came.

After defeating Yan Liang and Wen Chou's army, Guo Peng did not withdraw his troops, but instead led his troops into Qinghe Kingdom and made a big splash at the counties and villages of Qinghe Kingdom.

Whenever he arrives, he destroys houses and buildings, then plunders the population and materials to Qingzhou, and makes up the style of a robber.

Xu You and Feng Ji were shocked and could not make decisions without authorization, so they could only wait for Yuan Shao to wake up.

When Yuan Shao woke up, they received news that Guo Peng had entered Bohai County and plundered people and materials and destroyed houses.

After Yuan Shao learned about it, he was so angry that he almost turned on his back.

He had never expected Guo Peng's revenge to come so quickly and violently.

Guo Peng had no intention of joking with Yuan Shao at all.

He just wants to kill Yuan Shao. Although there is no condition to go to a full war with Yuan Shao, he will kill Yuan Shao sooner or later.

It is good to weaken a little bit now, and it is also good to strengthen yourself.

Tuo Yi attacked Qingzhou, destroyed some facilities in Geguo County, and killed some civilians. Guo Peng led his troops to Qinghe Kingdom and Bohai County, plundering people and robbing supplies.

In fact, Guo Peng originally planned to take advantage of the chaos to occupy several counties and states in Jizhou, but he had an excuse anyway.

But Xun Yu dissuaded Guo Peng.

"At that time, Emperor Gaozu of Han conserved Kanto and Emperor Guangwu occupied Hanoi, they all consolidated their bases first to control the world. In this way, they could win and retreat and hold on. Therefore, although there were difficulties and twists and turns, they could finally complete the great cause.

The general was originally ordered to guard Qingzhou and pacify the Yellow Turbans of Qingzhou. All the people were convinced. Moreover, Qingzhou had the benefits of sea salt transportation. This was the general's Guanzhong and Hanoi, and he had to stabilize first.

Although Yuan Shao had acted unjustly, his family had four generations and three ministers, and his disciples and former officials were everywhere. With a shout, someone would still respond. It would not be eliminated in a defeat. Now it is the time to consolidate Qingzhou, so I hope the general will observe clearly."

Xun Yu suggested Guo Peng this way, and Guo Peng thought it made sense.
