On the ninth day of the ninth day of the fourth year of Chuping, Guo Peng rectified the Northern Expedition Army and 50,000 troops marched south from Handan and surrounded Yecheng.

Then Guo Peng ordered the general flag of Yuan Shao's army, the general flag, and the heads of the killed generals and soldiers outside the city to intimidate the defenders on the city.

The defenders in the city were already very irritated because they were surrounded for a long time and lacked food and could not see Yuan's army. Now, seeing Yuan Shao coming to help in person, they were defeated, and they were filled with despair.

However, Shen Pei still refused to surrender and scolded Guo Peng as a traitor. Yuan Shao would definitely come back and kill him and restore his foundation.

Guo Peng immediately ordered the water from the ditches surrounding Yecheng, fill the ditches, and then the 50,000 troops attacked Yecheng from all directions, using all the tricks.

Under the fierce attack of 50,000 troops, Yecheng was captured on the third day, September 11th.

Shen Pei still wanted to resist stubbornly to the end, led the army to carry out street fighting, resisted stubbornly, blocking the joint assault between Zhang Liao and Zhang Fei. In the end, Guo Peng joined the fierce man Dian Wei and the One Thousand Tiger Guards, and then broke Shen Pei's final stubborn resistance with this heavy blow.

Shen Pei and his two sons were captured together.

After being captured, Shen Pei still cursed and scolded Guo Peng as a traitor and would definitely be severely punished. Sooner or later, Yuan Shao would come back and take Guo Peng's head away.

Guo Peng did not think about persuading surrender. After learning about this, he ordered the killing of him and his son, beheading Shen Pei and his son, and hung the heads of Shen Pei and his son on the gate of Yecheng City, and it was not allowed to be taken down ten days later.

This is the end if you go against me.

Guo Peng, who was murderous intent, wanted to make the opposition forces in Jizhou tremble under his feet.

After Yecheng was captured, Guo Peng found that the residents of Yecheng were very hungry, many of them were skinny and bone-skinned, and many of them had already starved to death, so he immediately ordered the release of porridge to provide relief to the residents of Yecheng.

The residents of Yecheng were so grateful to Guo Peng and stabilized in a very short time.

Subsequently, Guo Peng arranged for Zhang Liao, Zhang Fei and other generals to lead troops to sweep the Zhao State and Julu County, and he temporarily stayed in Yecheng.

Guo Peng released Tian Feng out of prison.

Tian Feng was also dying at this time. After being poured with a bowl of porridge and a bowl of chicken soup, he barely woke up and could speak.

"I heard that before Yuan Benchu's northern expedition to Gongsun Zan, he tried his best to dissuade him, and asked him to attack me first and then attack Gongsun Zan, saying that Gongsun Zan was just a small problem, and I was the one who was the one who was in my heart. Is there such a thing?"

Tian Feng lay on the couch and nodded slowly.

"This is indeed the case."

"But Yuan Benchu ​​did not listen to Mr. Tian's plan, but imprisoned Mr. Tian. Now he has suffered such a crushing defeat, and the 60,000 troops are destroyed. Jizhou is already my possession. How could this not be the ending caused by Yuan Benchu's fault?"

Guo Peng looked very sighing.

Tian Feng sighed deeply.

"If General Yuan adopted my plan, maybe he would be ridiculed now that General Guo is the one standing here."

Guo Peng smiled and shook his head.

"No, the result is the same. In any case, the result was the same at the beginning of the fourth year of Chuping. Before the start of this battle, my subordinates thought that this battle might have twists and turns, but the result is the same. I will never lose, and Yuan Benchu ​​will never win."

Tian Feng was a little confused.

"General Guo is too confident, right? General Yuan has four generations and three masters, and his disciples and former officials are everywhere. He raises his arms and calls out and responds. General Guo should not have such a reputation, right?"

"Yes, I don't have four generations and three masters, nor do I have family traditions of "Mengshi Yi", nor do I have any disciples and former officials all over the world. Therefore, I can only be down-to-earth, accumulate and manage little by little, and start planning how to annex Yuan Benchu ​​from a long time ago."

Tian Feng was surprised when Guo Peng said this.

"General Guo started planning a long time ago? How long ago?"

"Four years ago, when Yuan Benchu ​​sneaked into Qingzhou, I decided to destroy him. All the preparations I made, the four years of hard work, were preparing to destroy Yuan Benchu. I was always thinking about destroying him and annexing him."

Guo Peng said this and laughed again: "But before, Mr. Tian might not believe it. After learning that Yuan Benchu ​​had a few words, he pulled up an army of 80,000 people from Youzhou and Jizhou. I was really shocked and thought I was going to lose.

This number of people is really scary. I was very envious at that time. I thought that the fourth generation of the three masters are really great. Why is my family not the fourth generation of the three masters? Why is I not the descendant of the fourth generation of the three masters? Why is my family not one of the fourteen laws?

In that case, I can compete with Yuan Benchu, right? The powerful and powerful in Jizhou, Youzhou, will definitely do what they can and will not turn to Yuan Benchu ​​in full, but I also know that I cannot decide my origin, at least I am still a son of the Guo family in Yingchuan. At least, my family passed down "Little Dulu".

How many people are unavailable? It is such a rare thing to be able to pass on the scriptures at home. At least, this gives me the possibility of competing with Yuan Benchu, so that I will not make my subordinates full of holes. Everyone yearns for Yuan Benchu, let alone, I am under the banner of General Yuan Highway."

Tian Feng laughed helplessly.

"Don't Mr. Tian think what I said is wrong? If my family does not have a family scripture, if I were not from a gentry, if I had not been under the banner of General Yuan Gonglu, I am afraid that I would have lost before I could fight this battle, and my ending would not be better than Gongsun Bogui."

Tian Feng seems to agree with Guo Peng’s statement quite a bit.

"General Guo's self-knowledge, if General Yuan could have half, no, half, General Yuan would not have been defeated so miserably."

"There is no way, who made me worse than human beings? I can only be careful and accumulate carefully, for fear that if I take the wrong path, I will be doomed."

Guo Peng sighed helplessly: "If you are not as good as others, you are not as good as others everywhere. So sometimes, I still envy the pre-Qin period, and the thousand-year bloodline is not as good as human military merits. The nobles of the six countries were trampled by the foolish men in Guizhou."

Tian Feng shook his head helplessly: "It's over now. Jizhou, Youzhou, and even Bingzhou will all belong to General Guo. I'll ask you a risky question, what does the general want to do after he pacified Hebei and became the world's number one prince? Should he support the Han Dynasty or..."

"Of course, I am a Han official."

Guo Peng said, "I will send troops to attack Li Jue, welcome His Majesty back, rebuild the palace in Luoyang, and re-stabilize the order of the world."

Seeing Guo Peng's glorious look, Tian Feng frowned slightly.

"Where is Yuan Highway?"

"Yuan Highway? I naturally have to follow Yuan Highway as the main one, and attack Li Jue under the banner of General Yuan Highway, and welcome the emperor back to the emperor."

Guo Peng's face was still full of gloriousness.

"The general has such a great momentum, such a large territory, and such a powerful army occupying the three states with millions of household registrations. Can he still be under Yuan Highway?"

Tian Feng stared at Guo Peng closely.

Guo Peng grinned.

"My family is just the Guo family in Yingchuan, with a family of 2,000 stones. How can I compare with Yuan family of four generations and three dukes? Duke Tian, ​​let's talk slowly when I save Duke Tian's family."

Guo Peng stood up: "Before this, I felt wronged by Mr. Tian. I will send someone to take good care of Mr. Tian."

Tian Feng took a deep breath, slowly exhaled, and said, "General Guo, the most noble prince in the world, is not easy to do. General should be careful of his rear. The enemy in front of him is the real enemy, but are the people in the rear really their own people?"

"Don't worry, Mr. Tian, ​​I thought of today four years ago, whether it's the enemy or my own."

Guo Peng turned around and left the cell.

Tian Feng looked at Guo Peng's departure back, pursed his lips, Shaoqing relaxed his face, and his whole body relaxed.
