Guo Peng's will has long been left with no one to object.

Not to mention that most people don't want to oppose it at all, and they all want to be rewarded for meritorious service and make a great contribution at the last moment of the unification of the world.

The Battle of Liaodong was the last battle of the Wei Empire to unify the country.

Although the Shuhan War has just ended, Jiangnan has just been pacified, there are still many local battles to be fought, and there are many places to use troops.

But under the guidance of Guo Peng, the will and momentum of the Wei Empire to unify the country was too violent.

It was so violent that almost no one could stop it.

Almost immediately, after the surrender ceremony, the battle to extinguish Liaodong was called for war.

Everyone knows that their emperor Guo Peng does not do things that he is not sure of, everything he does is with certainty.

So the same is true of the battle to pacify Liaodong.

This is not a head iron, but full of confidence.

The materials used in the pacification of Yangzhou were the materials of Xuzhou and Jiujiang Lujiang counties, as well as a small part of the materials of Yuzhou.

The pacification of Jingzhou was mainly to mobilize the forces of Yuzhou, but Jingzhou soon surrendered, the war did not start much, and the vitality of Yuzhou was intact, and the next thing was Jingzhou.

The extinguishing of Yizhou used the materials obtained from Guanzhong Hanzhong and the attack on Jingzhou, and the battle ended in two months, without losing too many materials, and the grain and straw accumulated by the Wei Empire for many years of reclamation and cultivation could be completely coped.

These are all materials and mobilization in the Central Plains and Kansai regions.

The pacification of Liaodong used the materials of Jizhou Youzhou and Bingzhou, and the last time a large-scale war was launched in Hebei was the War of Merge and the War of Xianbei after the pacification of Yuan Shao, which was several years ago.

The three prefectures of Hebei have been recuperating for several years, and there are large-scale tuntian fields and road repairs in Jizhou and Youzhou, and the grain and grass are piled up like mountains, the materials are abundant, and the manpower is abundant, so it is the time to start a war.

Then there's the financial aspect.

Some officials pointed out that in the first two years of Yande, there were two major wars in succession, there were frequent major projects in various places, and there were continuous small battles in the south of the Yangtze River, which put great pressure on the finances.

They think that the battle to quell Liaodong can be slowed down a little and give everyone a breather.

Wang Cang, the secretary of the Ministry of Finance, stood up and announced the accounts of the Ministry of Finance in accordance with Guo Peng's will.

The books show that the fiscal revenue of the Wei government in the first and second years of Yande was not a deficit, but a slight surplus, so it was not difficult to deal with this unification war.

Many people think that the Wei Empire's finances must have been faked, otherwise why would they be so rich and able to fight wars without losing their treasury?

In the pre-Han Dynasty, to fight a battle of tens of thousands of people, it was necessary to beat the treasury until it was empty, and it was possible to run a carriage, and from top to bottom, it felt that there was no shortage of money.

But since Guo Peng's establishment, he feels that he has never been short of money, and the things that the sages of the former Han and Manchu dynasties can't solve don't seem to exist here in Guo Peng, no matter what he wants to do, he can come up with money to do it, and he does it very well.

Some people understand the doorway here, but they keep their mouths shut and dare not talk nonsense, for fear of offending some people.

There are also some people who really don't understand, but they also feel a little inexplicably uneasy, and they don't dare to ask, so they just don't exist.

In fact, many people's thinking is still stuck in the era when the imperial court was short of money and warlords were short of money in the pre-Han Dynasty, and they felt that there was a shortage of money everywhere in the world, and disasters could occur everywhere, so there would be no stable and prosperous enemy.

But now are two completely different periods.

Times have changed.

The fundamental problem of lack of money in the Eastern Han Dynasty, doesn't Guo know about it?

He's got 13, okay?

Therefore, from the very beginning, he kept consolidating his economic foundation, developing carefully, accumulating grain, slowly becoming emperor, and in the end, he became the final victor.

The large-scale tuntian allowed Guo to have no shortage of food, the salt and iron official camp allowed Guo to have no shortage of money to spend, and the policy of linking official coinage and grain allowed Guo to firmly control prices.

Guo has the initiative in his hands.

Most of the emperors of the former Han Dynasty could not grasp the initiative at the national level.

Years of construction have allowed him to profit handsomely in some places.

Some places still need continuous investment, such as Kansai and Jiangnan, but the places that have developed ahead of time, such as the Central Plains and Hebei regions, the financial revenue of these places is enough to support his pace of expanding the territory.

After years of preparation, the Guo Wei Empire he established was not the Western Jin Dynasty, which was already sixty years old at the beginning of its establishment.

He is indeed not so rich, because there are too many places to spend money, and there are too many places to engage in construction, and the money is like flowing water.

But he is indeed not so short of money, otherwise the tuntian, the salt and iron official camp and the official coinage have become meaningless policies.

His years of hard work have allowed him to control the economic trend of the entire empire, and he knows exactly when to stop and when not to stop.

So there is no doubt about the conduct of this battle, continue to advance.

"This battle does not need to be mobilized and annexed to the state, the grain of Jizhou and the locals of Youzhou are enough to support the operation of the army, Liaodong lacks population, and the army under the command of Gongsun Du is claimed to be 100,000, but according to our investigation, in fact, there are only 30,000 or 40,000 people, our army does not need to use too many soldiers and horses, and there is no need to make a big move, and Gongsun Du can be wiped out."

In the middle of the staff station, when discussing the strategy and tactics of this battle, Xun You, who returned from Shuzhong, put forward his own views.

"Not only that, Gongsun Du has a very good relationship with the local barbarians and Sanhan in Liaodong, if Goguryeo and Sanhan send troops to help, there should be more than these people."

Xi Zhong added: "Lin Lin finally got up, if Gongsun Du wants to resist, it is not difficult to really pull up an army of about 50,000 people, if our army wants to level Gongsun Du, at least there should not be much less soldiers and horses than him." ”

Guo Peng nodded.

"Although it is said to be the last battle, the battle that must be won, but we can't underestimate Gongsun Du, Gongsun Du divided Liaodong, destroyed the wealthy families, and the control of the land of Liaodong can not be compared with ordinary people, and it is not difficult to raise 50,000 people to diplomacy Goguryeo and Sanhan, and our army cannot be less."

After thinking about it for a while, Guo Peng opened his mouth and asked: "The preparation of the Guangyang battalion is almost complete, Yu Wenze has trained 30,000 soldiers and horses over there, which can come in handy this time, and the Guangyang battalion will stand up. ”

After the end of the Battle of Yangzhou, he was transferred to Ji County, Guangyang County, Youzhou, and was responsible for the command of the Northeast Corps.

Guo Peng ordered Yu Ban to recruit 30,000 troops in Jizhou, Youzhou and Bingzhou, as the soldiers and horses of the Guangyang battalion that was about to be established, which could come in handy when crusading against Gongsun Du.

At the same time, Guo Peng also ordered another change to the Wei army battalion, changing the original four battalions to six battalions.

The Guangyang battalion was the sixth battalion of the entire Wei army.

The previous four were Luoyang Battalion, Chang'an Battalion, Chenliu Battalion and Danyang Battalion.

Each battalion basically has 30,000 soldiers, and cooperates with the local garrison in the town area to command the subordinate troops, and in wartime they are all under the command of the governor of the battalion.

This time it was changed, and the Luoyang Battalion, as the battalion of the Central Corps, naturally did not change anything, and everything remained the same, guarding all the Luoyang Gyeonggi area from Tongguan to Revolving Gate Pass.

The Chang'an Battalion has been ordered by Guo Peng to move to Hanyang County, Liangzhou, renamed Hanyang Battalion, which exists as the general base of the Northwest Corps, under the command of Cao Ren, guarding Liangzhou in the northwest and defending the land in Guanzhong.

The Danyang battalion in Danyang has not undergone any changes, it is still under the command of Zhang Liao, responsible for guarding Jiangdong, serving as the general base of the Jiangdong Corps, crusading against Shanyue, and opening up southern Xinjiang, the task is very important and far-reaching.

The Chenliu battalion, which was located in Chenliu, was obviously not suitable for existence after the crusade against Jingzhou and Yizhou, so after the crusade against Jingzhou, it began to move to Jiangling in Nanjun in general.

Now that Yizhou has been conquered, the situation has changed, and the garrison of Lujiang County, Shangyong County, Nanjun, and Hanzhong County has no need to exist, so they are all abolished.

After that, one large battalion was obviously insufficient, so Guo Peng simply split one large battalion into two large battalions.

One was placed in Jiangling, Nanjun, as the Jiangling battalion, mainly responsible for the war in Jingzhou, responsible for continuing to develop the four counties of Jingnan, and preparing for the later march into Jiaozhou.

The other was placed in Chengdu to guard Shuzhong for the Chengdu camp and prepare for the later crusade against Nanzhong.

Chen Liu's camp was divided into two, and Le Jin was a person who lacked skills, so Guo Peng remembered the merits of the army's conquest of Yizhou, and was promoted to Zhu Ling as the governor of the Jiangling camp, in charge of the 30,000 troops of the Jiangling camp, with Guo Lie as the deputy governor and Zhu Ling's deputy, and jointly guarded Jingzhou.

Lejin is naturally the governor of Chengdu Daying, with 30,000 troops in charge of Chengdu Daying, and can command all the troops of Yizhou in wartime, and let the veteran Li Gan serve as his deputy to guard Yizhou together.

So the six battalions of the Wei army were established, and at the same time, a new garrison was put into office.

The four counties of Jingnan, Wuling County, Changsha County, Lingling County, and Guiyang County each set up garrisons.

Cai Mao served as the commander of the Wuling County garrison, Xu Huang served as the commander of the Changsha County garrison, Wen Ping served as the commander of the Lingling County garrison, and Gan Ning served as the commander of the Guiyang County garrison.

They all obeyed Zhu Ling's command and continued to advance their control of the four counties of Jingnan on the basis of the previous Lejin.

On the Yizhou side, Guo Peng also accepted the foundation laid by Liu Zhang in Qiqi County and Yuewang County before, and ordered the establishment of the garrison army of Qiqi County and the garrison army of Yuewang County.

Huang Zhong served as the commander of the garrison of Qiqi County, and Zhang He served as the commander of the garrison of Yueqi County, and they accepted the command of Lejin together.

Cao Chun and Li Dian were transferred back together with the Central Army after the war, while Guan Yu and Cao Xiu did not go back for the time being, still under the command of Lejin, and will participate in the second phase of the war in Shuzhong.

The decision on the disposal of these battalions has ended, so the establishment of the sixth battalion, the Guangyang battalion, is also inevitable, and its existence is very necessary to guard the northeast region as the military center of Hebei.

Of course, Yu Ban is a well-deserved candidate for governor, and Guo Peng will also hand over the battle of Gongsun Du to Yu Ban to command, and let Yu Ban lead the Northeast Corps to take full charge of this war and crusade against Gongsun Du.

Naturally, in this battle, there are still three ways to send troops.

The Wei Empire actually knew a lot about the geography of Liaodong, and after years of infiltration, the geography and climate of Liaodong was not a problem at all in the Wei Empire's staff.

Therefore, when sending troops to Liaodong would encounter obstacles from Liaoze and Liaoshui, Guo directly pointed to the map and proposed his two-way plan to send troops.

"Our army does not need to go through Liaoze at all, all the way to Zhang Fei and Tian Yu as the mainstay, detour north, detour from the grassland, directly from Liaoxi County to Xuansu County, along the way Xianbei has been swept away by my expedition over the years, Zhang Fei and Tian Yu's horse team is one person and two horses, equipped with jerky, and they use the horse team to transport rations!

The other way is the main force of Yu Ban, directly from Yuyang Port to the ship, take the sea route, directly land and attack Pingguo County, all the way north, through Wen County, Anshi County, Xinchang County, and reach Xiangping! Lone wants to let Gongsun Du know that he thinks he can block the Liaoze and Liaohe of our army has never been in Lone's eyes! ”

Guo Peng slammed his fist on the map of Liaodong.

This is a safe route between the Central Plains business travel and Liaodong for many years, which of course also has the credit of the Tai Shi Ci Navy, Guo someone in order to pacify Liaodong, has long begun to fight the idea of the sea.

The road in Liaodong is difficult, so abandon the land route and take the sea route directly, with the shipping ships and transportation capacity he has mastered, it is easy to land directly on the Liaodong Peninsula and attack Xiangping County by sea.

So this second march strategy was thus confirmed.

This is Yu Ban's second way.

There is also one road, the third road, which is Tai Shici's navy.

Starting from Cheongju, take the sea route, land from Korea, first destroy Samhan, and then destroy Haoqian, and occupy the Korean Peninsula.

Guo went to war for the whole of Liaodong, not just for a Gongsun Du.

After that, Guo Peng wanted to count the land of Liaodong and the Korean Peninsula together, and really set up a new state-level administrative unit, which was called Pingzhou.

Naturally, no one would object to the strategic plan proposed by the emperor, and Xi Zhong and Xun You led the staff officers to plan the army's march route, plan various preparations and arrangements in advance, and so on.

Dong Zhao, the secretary of the military department in charge of logistics, joined the discussion with the military team.

According to Guo Peng's instructions, commissioners were sent to various counties in Jizhou to mobilize grain, and then went to Youzhou to organize and mobilize the people, and the auxiliary soldiers in the army should also be mobilized and organized, and before the army started the war, it was necessary to solve the food problem along the way of the army's march.

The Wei army's marching operations have long had an inherent process, but the place of implementation is different, this time it is Jizhou and Youzhou, Jizhou and Youzhou, which have accumulated grain and people's strength for many years, are about to usher in a test.

Han Hao, the assassin of Jizhou, Xian Yufu of Youzhou, and Mi Zhu, the assassin of Qingzhou, rushed to Luoyang to report on their work and joined the discussion of the war.

Special reports were made on the transportation problems and grain problems in Jizhou, Youzhou and Qingzhou.

By mid-August, after a series of preparations for rectification, the plans had been approved and implemented, and by the end of August, all the plans that needed to be implemented had been implemented at the local level.

Han Hao, Xian Yufu and Mi Zhu issued strict orders in Jizhou, Youzhou and Qingzhou respectively, and each supervised the war mobilization in Jizhou, Youzhou and Qingzhou.

This was the logistical and administrative aspect, and at the first order, the wartime system began to operate.
