Inspired by the victory, although the Shu soldiers were a little tired, they were extremely excited, and under the leadership of Yang Yun and Zhuge Liang, they marched along Weishui in the direction of Chang'an again.

On the way, I happened to meet Zhao Yun and Wei Yan's soldiers and horses.

"Meet Your Majesty!"

After Zhao Yun and Wei Yan learned the news of the defeat of the Wei army, their faces were first happy, and then a wave of regret welled up in their hearts. If they had heard the news, they wouldn't have had to rush here.

After the defeat of the Wei army, there were no reinforcements in Chang'an City, and they could camp outside the city and block Cao Ei inside the city, and when Yang Yun's army arrived, Cao Ei would inevitably be captured.

And now, without the army led by the two of them, Cao Rong may not continue to stay in Chang'an City.

"The ministers did not break through Chang'an, and please ask Your Majesty to surrender!" The more Zhao Yun and Wei Yan thought about it, the more they blamed themselves, and if they took Cao Rong, the entire Wei State would collapse without a leader.

This is a great opportunity for them to let the Han restore the Central Plains!

"Sending troops to Meridian Valley is originally a risky plan, and it is nothing if it doesn't succeed, if Zilong and Wen Chang want to make meritorious contributions, they will personally capture Chang'an for me!"

Although Yang Yun also felt a little sorry in his heart, he would not blame Zhao Yun and Wei Yan for this. Because of the defeat of Cao Zhen's army in one day, even he didn't expect it.

Zhao Yun and Wei Yan were just harassing Cao Zhen's grain and grass transportation channel according to the original plan, and if the reason for not capturing and killing Cao Rong was put on the two of them, it would be meaningless anger.

"The minister must take Chang'an and die for His Majesty!" the two generals immediately expressed their position.

Yang Yun nodded slightly, and then swept his eyes, seeing that the tens of thousands of elites under his command were a little tired, and the marching speed was not as fast as he imagined, he immediately ordered Zhuge Liang, Zhao Yun, Ma Chao and Wei Yan to lead thousands of soldiers with high strength to speed up and rush to Chang'an as soon as possible.

He himself led the rest of his tired men and horses on a slow march. When you are on the march, by the way, you can recover your physical strength to the limit.

Although Yang Yun did not have the ability to command a large army and command operations, he had experienced so many worlds, and he had also gained a lot of experience.

Not to mention anything else, the ability to lead tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to march safely and steadily is still there.

Zhuge Liang, Ma Chao and Zhao Yun led the Wudang Fei Army and thousands of cavalry, and the marching speed was extremely fast, but in a very short time, they came to Chang'an City again.

In order to dare to take Chang'an before Cao Rong escaped, when they passed through other cities, they directly bypassed without attacking, and the army went straight to Chang'an.

In the process of marching, all kinds of things in the army were sorted out by Zhuge Liang and handed over to Tanma, and the horses were quickly passed to Yang Yun.

"Cao Ei, this kid, is so clever!"

Yang Yun couldn't help but sigh when he saw the information coming.

Zhuge Liang has already found out that when Cao Zhen's army was defeated, a general with a congenital level decisively turned around and fled for his life when Cao Zhen died in battle, and before the Shu army came to the city, he returned to Chang'an and told Cao Rong the news of the defeat of Cao Zhen's army.

Emperor Wei Ming, the most prominent emperor in history, did not hesitate at all, and went directly out of Chang'an with the frame, and now he should have arrived at Tongguan.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the water level of the Yellow River was cut down, and the Hangu Pass, which originally belonged to the gateway of Guanzhong, had lost its role and was replaced by Tongguan. The left and right sides of Tongguan are expected to be far ditches and forbidden ditches, and the pass can block the eastern part of the country.

And the Central Plains of the Kwantung region has mastered Tongguan, and it can attack Guanzhong at any time and threaten Chang'an.

So after getting the news, Zhuge Liang and Ma Chao immediately led the cavalry to Tongguan. At the beginning, Ma Chao fought with Cao Cao in Tongguan and knew the terrain very well.

"Cao Rong is so astute, he will definitely not stay in Tongguan, and the one who stays in Tongguan must be the important minister of Wei! I hope Tongguan can be won in one fell swoop!"

Yang Yun thought to himself in his heart.

When Guanzhong, Shuzhong, and Longyou were in addition to Tongguan, he restored the situation before Qin destroyed the Six Kingdoms and the Tang Dynasty went out of Tongguan to fight for hegemony in the Central Plains.

Jingyi Yongliang seems to have only four states, but the four states together are enough to be called half of the world. And there is half of the country that has sixty percent hope of dominating the world.

Zhuge Liang and Ma Chao led their troops and horses to attack Tongguan, leaving Zhao Yun and Wei Yan to blockade Chang'an, waiting for Yang Yun to lead the army to arrive, and then break through the city wall, so that the first person to enter Chang'an became the emperor who led his troops north.

The emperor personally captured Chang'an and recovered the western capital of the Han Dynasty, which is of great significance.

......

When Yang Yun led his troops to Chang'an, Zhuge Liang and Ma Chao led the cavalry to approach Tongguan. In Tongguan, in addition to Sima Yi, there are only 1,000 yellow turban wrestlers and 2,000 elites left by Cao Ei.

Defending a Xiongguan, 3,000 soldiers and horses is just a drop in the bucket, even if there are 1,000 Yellow Turban wrestlers, it is far from enough.

"General, come to the Malay report, Zhuge Liang personally led the soldiers and horses to seize the pass, and in another hour, he will arrive!" An adjutant general hurriedly reported with panic on his face.

Sima Yi's face sank like water, he was silent for a long time and did not speak, and the thoughts in his heart kept turning.

According to what Emperor Cao Rong said before leaving, as long as he can hold on for a day, the soldiers and horses near Luoyang will come to help!

"Zhuge Liang and Ma Chao! Both of them have the strength to break through Tongguan! With only a thousand Yellow Turban wrestlers, they will definitely not be able to stop the two! For today's plan, they can only take a risk!"

Sima Yi sighed, then lifted his spirit, and instructed the deputy general beside him: "Pass the order, open the city gate, hide the Yellow Turban wrestlers and two thousand elites on both sides of the city gate, and the old man personally laid out the formation, hoping to let Zhuge Kongming temporarily stop attacking!"

"Open the gates?"

The adjutant general was taken aback and hurriedly said: "General, Tongguan is the Xiongguan Pass in the world, wouldn't opening the city gate to let the Shu army enter the pass?

"Hehe, what do you know? With these 3,000 soldiers and horses, how long can you stop the Shu army? Half an hour? Or an hour?"

A hint of coldness appeared on Sima Yi's face, but after seeing the deputy general's expression, he still sighed and explained. The deputy general is the confidant left by the emperor Cao Rong, and if he does not convince the deputy general, he will not be able to command the 3,000 soldiers and horses at all.

"The old man knows Zhuge Kongming's character very well, this person is cautious and cautious, never takes risks, if the city gate is opened, coupled with the formation arranged by the old man, the other party will think that there are ambushes in the city!

"As long as you can survive most of the day, the reinforcements Your Majesty said will be able to arrive, and then you will have a chance to hold Tongguan!"

When the deputy general heard this, he suddenly followed Sima Yi's instructions and began to open the gate of Tongguan, and arranged a formation on both sides of the gate to stimulate the murderous spirit of war, so that people could feel the murderous intent hidden at a glance.
