Guo Peng held Pang Xi's hand, stroked Pang Xi's back, and walked slowly forward with him.

Talking about the difficulties of Shu Road with him, talking about his hometown, what happened before and after he entered Shuzhong, and talking about the unfair and tragic events he encountered this time, he soon brought Pang Xi closer.

This ability to speak opened his eyes to Pang Xi's subordinates, and they all felt that Guo Peng was indeed extraordinary.

"General Pang is really innocent. Liu Jiyu can do such a thing. Is this the difference between this and breaking his arm?"

Guo Peng took the initiative to stand up for Pang Xi.

"Ten years of follow-up, but in the end, Pang didn't know if he should cry."

Pang Xi nodded repeatedly when he was said, his eyes were red and his face was full of grievance.

Guo Peng smiled, continued to stroke Pang Xi's back, and said warmly: "It doesn't matter, you made the right choice. Liu Jiyu is mediocre and incompetent. Isn't it worthy of your talent? Isn't Gu here? General Pang, although he is relieved, Gu is different from Liu Jiyu."

Pang Xi quickly expressed his gratitude and once again expressed his intention to present Hanzhong to Guo Peng.

"Thanks to General Pang, otherwise Gu would not have known how much effort it would take to get Hanzhong. The road to Shu is difficult and the people are sad. Gu had never experienced it before. Now he has experienced it, and he has a deeper feeling. Thanks to General Pang's help, Hanzhong is in hand, Gu is worried, hahaha!"

Guo Peng laughed again, and Pang Xi was also very happy.

After walking for a while, Guo Peng and Pang Xi and others got on the horse and headed to Nanzheng City.

In Nanzheng City, Guo Peng and the literati and military generals under Pang Xi met together and gave rewards respectively, which established the title of the monarch and the subject.

Then, Guo Peng asked Pang Xi about the details of the rebellion. He heard Pang Xi talk about the details in detail. Some important content in the details surprised him, and then he was very surprised to hear Fa Zheng's name.

"Is it the descendant of Mr. Xuande?"

Guo Peng looked at Fa Zheng.

When he was studying at the Taixue in Luoyang in his early years, he heard about Fazheng's grandfather Fufeng Fazhen's name. At that time, he thought that this title was the same as Liu Bei's preface, and it was a bit strange.

"The subordinates have a humble position and dare not regard themselves as their ancestors."

Fa Zheng stepped forward a few steps and bowed in great humility in front of Guo Peng.

Guo Peng laughed and stepped forward to help Fa Zheng up.

"More than ten years ago, I studied at the Taixue of Luoyang. I have heard of Mr. Xuande's name more than once. Mr. Xuande is a famous scholar in Fufeng and a great scholar in the country. He is filial and knowledgeable, skilled in planning, and has no reputation as a filial descendant. Why should he underestimate himself?"

Fa Zheng was very happy to receive praise from the famous Duke Wei Guo Peng of the world. He endured the excitement in his heart and still expressed humility.

Guo Peng laughed, patted Fazheng on the shoulder, and then announced a banquet, allowing Pang Xi to sit beside him, invite singing and dancing, drink and have fun with him, and after three rounds of wine, he got up and danced together, singing happily, which was very pleasant.

After a banquet, Guo Peng officially began to handle military and political affairs after a night of rest.

The first thing to do is naturally nothing else, but Yangpingguan’s strategy action.

Guo Peng heard about the contributions of Zhao Yun and Zhang Li, praised the two and recorded the contributions for them.

Then I heard that the Shu general Wu Yi led more than 20,000 defeated troops to retreat to Yangping Pass, defended the city of Guan, and did not retreat. He also occupied Tiandang Mountain and Dingjun Mountain, which was very intended to counterattack Hanzhong.

Guo Peng found it interesting, remembered the fierce two-year battle between Liu Bei and Cao Cao in Hanzhong, and felt even more interested, so he decided to personally direct the battle for Yangpingguan.

Guo Peng brought 28,000 troops, and lost more than 800 on the march road. The main force naturally existed. Pang Xi gathered a group of defeated soldiers and tortured an army of 15,000. The two armies merged into one, gathering more than 40,000 troops. Guo Peng personally commanded it and drove to Mianyang County.

Wu Yi captured Mianyang County, Guo Peng sent Zhao Yun and Yan Liang to lead the army to advance Mianyang County, and then commanded the army behind him and sent troops to Mianyang County.

The arrival of Mianyang County is two days later.

On the way, Guo Peng asked Pang Xi and Fa Zheng to learn more about the geographical conditions of Hanzhong and Shuzhong, as well as the situation of Tiandang Mountain and Dingjun Mountain near Yangping Pass.

Tiandang Mountain is located in the north of Mianyang County, and is far away from Dingjun Mountain in the south of Mianyang County. The terrain is dangerous and forms a pincer force with Dingjun Mountain and Yangping Pass, and is a household in the western part of Hanzhong.

The mountain is in the west to control Sichuan and Shaanxi, and the south entrance of Chencang Ancient Road in the north. It is an important military barrier for controlling the south entrance of Chencang Road and ensuring the safety of Hanzhong. There is no doubt that it is a must-fight place for military strategists.

Shu general Wu Yi and Guo Peng have some impression of this name.

It seems that he is the elder brother of Empress Liu Bei and a relative of the Shu Han Dynasty. However, he is low-key and does not take on power. He has a good reputation and is quite capable.

He occupied Mianyang County and sent generals Gao Pei and Wu Ban to lead a group of troops to control Tiandang Mountain and Dingjun Mountain respectively, and control both sides of Mianshui.

This made it impossible for Guo Peng to break through the Yangping Pass of Mianyang County without taking down these two mountains. His defense was very in place, leaving a bridgehead for the Shu army.

It seems that it is indeed a counterattack against Hanzhong.

When I learned that I was here, I wasn't afraid?

Guo Peng is a little strange.

With his reputation outside, anyone will tremble after hearing it. Wu Yi is not a top military commander, so where can he get the confidence to be incompatible with him?

Or do people in Shu don’t know if they have a reputation?

Guo Peng didn't understand it, and then suddenly remembered when Pang Xi introduced his strategy, and talked about using the Wei army battle flag and the Guo-character flag to pretend to be a tiger's power. He immediately understood.

This is simply a wolf coming.

Now Wu Yi doesn't believe that the Wei army is really here, and he thinks that Pang Xi is pretending to be a tiger.

Good guy, Pang Xi is trying to kill Wu Yi, so he doesn't even know her grandmother.

Guo Peng, with the Wei army, who had fully recovered their combat effectiveness, slowly approached Wu Yi's defense line, beat all his flags, and then began to assign tasks.

Guo Peng ordered Gao Lan to lead his army to besiege Dingjun Mountain, Yan Liang led his army to besiege Tiandang Mountain, and Zhu Ling led his army to lead his army to besiege Mianyang County.

If you play joint defense, I can defeat each one, leaving you with no time to defend.

The only regret that Guo Peng felt was that the catapult could not be brought here.

Otherwise, if the catapult is brought, the difficulty of conquering these military strongholds will be reduced by one level, so you don’t have to attack like now, and it will not be very pleasant.

However, Guo Peng got Fa Zheng, and Fa showed his military talent in front of Guo Peng.

Fa Zheng relied on his understanding of the terrain in this area to offer advice to Guo Peng, guiding the Wei army to attack the weak points of the Shu army's defense more conveniently and quickly, so as to break through the Shu army's defense line as soon as possible.

There is no doubt that they still don’t believe that they are facing the real Wei army. The Shu army faces the sharp attacks of the Wei army, but in fact they do not have much resistance.

Putting aside the offensive and defensive battles in Mianyang County, the Shu army occupied an absolute advantage in the terrain in the two military operations of Dingjun Mountain and Tiandang Mountain. There were many wooden and stone rolling, but they still could not stop the Wei army from attacking upward.
