The Han Empire is nervously preparing, the Yellow Turban Army is in full swing, and at this stall, the Han Empire's coping strategy has been taken out.

Lu Zhizhi was appointed as the general of Beizhonglang, and led a total of more than 20,000 soldiers from the five schools of the Northern Army and urgently recruited soldiers to take charge of the northern front and deal with Zhang Jiao's main force.

Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun each led an army, controlling part of the five colonels of the Northern Army, the Knights of the Three Rivers and the newly recruited elite warriors, totaling more than 40,000 people, to defeat the Yellow Turban Army in the Yingchuan area.

According to the summary of information obtained during this period of time, the main force of the Yellow Turban Army is concentrated in Jizhou, Hebei, which is Zhang Jiao's hometown, and there are especially many believers, and the strength is very strong.

In addition, there are also Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou and Yanzhou, and there are also Yellow Turban Army in Yuzhou, but the number and intensity of the outbreak are small.

So the imperial court made a judgment that the Yellow Turban Army in Hebei was the main force, and the Yellow Turban Army in Henan was not the main force, but only a response.

Therefore, the imperial court decided to first weaken and then strengthen, and first exterminate the Yellow Turban Army in Henan by the elite soldiers of the main force, and then go north to support Lu Zhisuo, who was fighting with the main force of the Yellow Turban Army.

Lu Zhi took the initiative to ask to lead a smaller number of troops to deal with the main force of the Yellow Turbans.

In order to gain time, he proposed that he should go north to confront Zhang Jiao head-on, and Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun should lead the elite main force to defeat the Yellow Turban Army in Henan as soon as possible, and then quickly go north to attack the Yellow Turban main force.

Lu Zhi's high style and brightness were respected by Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, and the strategy was determined.

On the same day, Yang Biao went to the table and asked Guo Peng, the lieutenant of the northern part of Luoyang, to be the Sima of Changshui, and to lead the army of Changshui Lieutenant on behalf of Lu Zhi to fight in Hebei with Lu Zhi.

Sometimes, some things really depend on luck, and when you are lucky, you can't stop it, and if you are well prepared, it is even more so.

Because at this time, it was Yuan Shu who was doing the captain of Changshui.

Although the Yellow Turban Army is a rabble, there are many people and great momentum, and Yuan Shu is beating the drum in his heart.

And as the orthodox heir of the Yuan clan of the fourth and third princes, it would be too embarrassing to really die in the hands of clay legs on this kind of battlefield.

After thinking about it, Yuan Shusi relied on the energy of the Yuan family in the court, and got down from the position of captain of Changshui, and chose a noble position that would not be sent out to fight.

As a result, the position of captain of Changshui was vacant, and he couldn't find a suitable candidate for a while, so Lu Zhi saw the opportunity and asked Yang Biao to recommend Guo Peng as Changshui Sima on his behalf, and led a Changshui cavalry to accompany him to Hebei to follow him to the battlefield.

The original Sima led another team of men and horses to follow Huangfu Song south into Yingchuan and fight against the Yellow Turban Army.

Guo Peng is only less than twenty years old, and his qualifications are too shallow, although he has made great contributions to exposing Zhang Jiao's conspiracy and capturing Ma Yuanyi alive, but at this time, if he is directly one of the five captains, Changshui, is really a little unreasonable.

So Lu Zhi retreated and took the position of Changshui Sima as his goal, and sure enough, he got this position to Guo Peng.

This position of Changshui Sima led 350 cavalry, counting his own 30 family soldiers, gathered 380 cavalry and handed them over to Guo Peng to command, and followed Lu Zhi to the battlefield in Hebei.

When Guo Peng learned the news, his emotions were very complicated.

He was very excited, feeling that his efforts had paid off, and he finally had a chance to stand out, but he was also a little scared, because he didn't know if his ability could gain a foothold or survive on the real battlefield in the midst of the army.

He has killed a lot of people, and he has experienced real battles, and the fear of death is not so heavy, but he has never been to the battlefield in person, and he has never known the true appearance of the battlefield.

It is impossible not to be afraid, he knows this very well.

In addition, he is worried about Cao Lan and his son, who is just over a year old, and he is worried that if he dies on the battlefield, what will the mother and daughter do, how they will live, and how they will grow up.

He didn't know how to explain this matter to Cao Lan clearly.

Cao Song knew it, he was very worried about Guo Peng, but he also supported Guo Peng to go to the battlefield, Cao Cao also knew, he envied Guo Peng that he had the opportunity to go to the battlefield and could show what he had learned in his chest, but Cao Lan was a woman and his wife, how to say this?

Guo Huo, Guo Mu and Guo Shui, Guo Peng was going to be brought to the battlefield, and thirty elite soldiers were also going to be brought to the battlefield to be their own personal guards, Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Yuan didn't think about it at all, and directly asked to follow Guo Peng to the battlefield together, and Cao Ren hesitated for a moment and also proposed to go to the battlefield.

He seemed to be a little scared, and he was the youngest, but he still offered to go to the battlefield with him.

"You don't have to."

Guo Peng persuaded him like this.

"I must go!"

Cao Ren insisted.

Since he insisted, Guo Peng would not stop him.

Originally, if Zang Hong was there, Guo Peng still wanted to call Zang Hong, but Zang Hong happened to go back to his hometown to get married for the crown ceremony, and he was not in Luoyang, Guo Peng was helpless.

After learning the news, Guo Peng's fame and connections in Luoyang played a role, and many rangers who were favored and cared for by Guo Peng asked Guo Peng to follow Guo Peng to the battlefield and repay Guo Peng's kindness to them with their lives.

These rangers had a certain amount of force, as well as horses, Guo Peng had no reason not to agree, so he counted the amount and made up one hundred and thirty-seven people, so the cavalry under Guo Peng's command increased to five hundred and seventeen.

Before sending troops, it took time for the army to be prepared, and during this time, Guo Peng went home and explained the matter to Cao Lan.

Cao Lan's little face turned white immediately, and she immediately stepped forward and hugged Guo Peng, not saying anything, just crying, which made Guo Peng feel very uncomfortable, but he had to go to this battlefield.

Years of planning and accumulation will bear fruit in this war, as long as he can survive, he can get a real political capital, this capital is too important, whether the things he has accumulated in the eight years of deep cultivation in Luoyang can be realized, it depends on this battle.

"Wait until I get back."

Guo Peng only left Cao Lan four words, so he asked Cao Lan to take little Guo Jin to live in Cao Song's mansion, and asked Cao Song and Cao Cao to take care of the mother and daughter.

Cao Song held Guo Peng's hand tightly and told him to come back safely, Cao Cao had no other words, he still encouraged Guo Peng, saying that the man would gallop to serve the country, and he must go to the battlefield whenever he has the opportunity.

He'll have a chance.

Guo Peng nodded, and devoted himself to the work of preparing the army.

In his early years, on the side of the veteran soldiers, Guo Peng learned the general concept of grassroots soldiers in this era, and with Lu Zhi's side, Guo Peng learned the art of the general's royal majesty.

Generally speaking, in this era, the maximum number of troops that a general can directly command is only 5,000, and more than 5,000 soldiers are not what a general can properly command.

The transmission of information can become a huge problem, which can lead to the inability to fight normally.

Moreover, a general who is not strong in command can not command an army of 5,000 men, and only a general with the strongest command ability can shoulder the command task of 5,000 people by himself, and on top of this, he will inevitably divide his troops and place his generals.

At that time, it was the duty of the commander-in-chief, who did not directly command the soldiers, but commanded the generals, conveyed the instructions to the generals, and the generals conveyed the instructions to the officers and soldiers at the grassroots level, and the army acted according to the instructions.

It requires the coordination of horns, war drums, military flags and other command tools, and more importantly, the execution of generals and well-trained soldiers who understand the commander's orders.

It is not easy to train an obedient army, it takes a lot of time, and the general must reach the most basic run-in with the soldiers before, otherwise the soldiers do not know the generals, and the soldiers will not know the soldiers, and command is a difficult problem.

Naturally, the smaller the number of people, the easier it is to train and cooperate, and a general who is on the battlefield for the first time commands hundreds of people is amazing.

Lu Zhi thought that Guo Peng could only lead 500 people to experience at most, and any more would cause problems.

This Changshui cavalry is exactly five hundred and seventeen people, which happens to be the limit of the fledgling Guo Peng.
