Wei Yan ordered Ma Chao and Ma Dai to guard Chang'an, take a short rest, and lead his elite soldiers to attack Tongguan with Zhuge crossbows.

Now that the guards in various places have been emptied by Cao Pi, the Tongguan guards saw that the Shu soldiers seemed to be descending from the sky, and they had already been frightened and surrendered without a fight.

He had less than a thousand men, and he couldn't hold it.

Before leaving, the commander Wei Yan had already sent a messenger to inform the emperor and the prime minister.

At the same time, he asked Ma Chao to send a large number of people to spread the news of the fall of Chang'an.

When the Taishou of Tianshui, Nan'an, and Anding heard that Chang'an had been breached, they all rebelled against Cao Wei and responded to the Han Emperor.

After the Han flag was planted in the three counties, the soldiers of the Cao army could only flee to Wuwei County to rest.

Zhuge Liang stabilized the people, brought out the three chapters of the covenant of the Han Gaozu back then, and even lighter and lighter, compared to Cao Pi, the days were not much faster, and the people of Yongliang quickly accepted the rule of Shu Han.

Some old people even said excitedly: "I don't want to see the majesty of the Han Emperor again today!" ”

Liu Bei said happily: "Prime Minister and Guan Suo initiated this plan, and Wei Yan and Ma Chao implemented it, both of which are great heroes of mine!" ”

There are three passes from Guanzhong to the Central Plains, namely Pubandu in the north, Hangu Pass in the east, and Wuguan in the south.

Now the guards of Hangu Pass are blocked by Tongguan and cannot pass.

Wuguan has long been emptied by Cao Pi.

Pubandu's defenders were not enough to protect themselves, let alone defeat Wei Yan, the general of Shu.

Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang led Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Chen Dao, Guan Xing, Zhang Bao and other generals to sit in Chang'an and show grace to the people, and the people were more interested in Liu Bei.

Liu Bei rewarded Wei Yan and was immediately canonized as a general!

All other generals are rewarded.

After Ma Chao and Ma Dai were heavily rewarded, Emperor Han ordered them to lead an army to attack the enemy army of Wuwei and avenge their blood hatred.

Ma Chao was a little hesitant.

Liu Bei smiled: "Meng Qi, I left you this good opportunity for revenge, don't you want it?" ”

Ma Chao bowed down and said: "Your Majesty's grace is vast, and the minister's liver and brain are all over the ground, it is difficult to repay in case, but the thief will Yang Fu, who is scheming and not afraid of death!" I stabbed him seven times, but I couldn't kill him, but he killed more than 200 people in the whole clan! ”

He said to Zhuge Liang again: "Prime Minister, it's not that Ma is majestic, but in terms of strategy, I am not the opponent of this thief!" ”

Zhuge Liang smiled: "General Ma can know himself and his opponent, and he is not arrogant or arrogant, which is a good thing." ”

Ma Dai also bowed down and said, "Prime Minister, can you send us a powerful military advisor?" ”

He didn't dare to say directly whether he could let the prime minister be our military advisor.

Because that's impossible.

Now things are complicated, and there are more places where a great talent like the prime minister is needed to put out fires.

There are a lot of things in Chang'an, and you have to count on the prime minister.

Fighting a war is not only about fighting military and money and food, but also about politics.

Zhuge Liang pointed to a person beside him: "I am my newly accepted apprentice Jiang Wei, the word Boyo." Although this person is not famous, he is the most powerful of the Wei generals, and he first saw through my plan and defeated me for a while! and General Zhao Zilong fought for fifty rounds! ”

Ma Chao was shocked: "Is there anyone in the world who can see through the prime minister's scheme? ”

Ma Dai was even more shocked into a cold sweat: "Who else can survive thirty rounds in the hands of General Zhao Zilong?" ”

Zhuge Liang and Zhao Yun glanced at each other and said affirmatively, "Yes." ”

Jiang Wei saluted Ma Chao: "The juniors have seen General Ma. ”

Ma Chao returned the salute abruptly, and said in his heart, this is the only one who is qualified to be accepted as an apprentice by Prime Minister Zhuge over the years.

"Strategist, you're tired!" Ma Chao and Ma Dai were very respectful to him.

The Ma brothers didn't ask Jiang Wei why he descended to Shu, because it was unnecessary.

The three counties were all forced to surrender by Prime Minister Zhuge Cheng, and it was not normal for Jiang Wei to surrender to Shu.

Zhuge Liang left Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong to guard Chang'an, Wei Yan still guarded Tongguan, and other famous generals in Shu followed Ma Chao to attack Wuwei City.

All the useful baggage, ladders, siege vehicles, three-bow bed crossbows, Kong Ming lanterns (Zhuge Liang's invention), and catapults were all handed over to Ma Chao for use.

The Guansuo faction planted new seeds in Jingzhou, and corn and sweet potatoes were all high-yielding crops, and the yield per mu could be ten times more than that of wheat.

Lu Xun occupied the entire territory of the Lujiang River, and Sun Quan, the lord of Wu, continued to add troops and food to him, and Lu Xun and Sima Yi, the two masters of the world, fought fiercely in Jiangxia.

On the battlefield of Jingzhou, Zhao Yan still couldn't destroy Guan Yu.

However, Cao Pi increased his troops from Wuguan by 25,000 and wanted to attack the outlying towns of Chang'an.

Liu Feng, Meng Da, Shen Yi, and Shen Tan patrolled the city over there, drinking and eating barbecue, not taking the Wei army in their eyes, but they were caught off guard and were made dumplings by the Wei army.

Cao Jun's general Zhang Liao flew a knife and killed Liu Feng to the ground, and Cao Jun's general Xu Chu pierced Meng Da's heart and lungs with a spear.

The rest of the people fled in panic, and before the Shen brothers could resist, they were captured by Zhang Liao's people.

Zhang Liao and Xu Chu tied them up on horseback and brought them to Xuchang to be handed over to the emperor.

After Cao Pi's labor was finished, he was shut down and played a live broadcast, lost face, and had already returned to Xuchang in disgrace.

General Zhang Xu led the troops forward, found that the town of Chang'an was extremely tightly guarded, without any flaws, and then saw the Zhuge flag on the head of the city, and hated that the general trend had gone, so he had to go back to restore his life.

Otherwise, if you attack, you will only kill and wound more people, and it will be in vain.

Emperor Wei Cao Pi is now angry when he sees the Shu general.

The two Shen brothers were escorted to the majestic palace of the Wei Kingdom, and they were so frightened that they didn't even dare to speak.

"Ten thousand knives to split the corpse!" Cao Pi looked at these two captives, and he was angry, there was no criminal law in the Three Kingdoms era, so Cao Pi himself came up with a way to make him angry.

But that doesn't stop the fact that large swathes of the country have been lost.

Seven months later, Cao Pi received two messages.

For him, it's all bad news.

Lu Xun defeated Sima Yi, broke Jiangxia, captured 18,000 Wei troops, and killed them.

The state of Wu restored its former territory, while the state of Wei took tens of thousands of soldiers in vain.

The other news is even sadder.

Ma Chao, the general of Shu, took Jiang Wei, the general of the Wei army, as his military division, and attacked Wuwei City.

The city was broken, and Ma Chao and the people did not commit any crimes.

But Yang Fu and other famous generals of the Wei army were all beheaded and razed the three clans.

Ma Chao is a god-level existence among the Qiang people, and the Qiang people took the initiative to help in the war, and the Qiang King actually sent someone to Ma Chao and said: "We are willing to help General Ma take revenge, and provide our own food and grass." But we want all the pots and pans of the Wei army, as well as the textiles and pottery in the treasury. ”

Ma Chao readily agreed.

With the help of the Qiang soldiers, Ma Chao killed the Wei soldiers more easily, with an army of 120,000, more than 50,000 people surrendered to Shu, and all the others were killed.

Although Wei Guo can't be said to be seriously injured, it can be regarded as a broken muscle.

In addition, because the Wei State used a large number of troops to fight for many years, the grain and grass had already been emptied.

Hungry people rebelled everywhere.

Even the remnants of the Yellow Turban came out.

The grain transport team also has to eat back and forth, so if the food is not given to the enemy, the grain that one person eats on the front line in peacetime must use thirty times as much in wartime.

Such a grain burning law cannot be afforded by the rich regime.

Chen Qun, Jiang Ji and other ministers asked Emperor Wei to take the initiative to cede land to Shu and Wu to sue for peace.

When Cao Cao was alive, he was the only one who beat others up and begged for mercy.

He fought several battles with Sun Quan, but Sun Quan couldn't bear it and confessed.

This Cao Pi is more and more alive, such a powerful country actually took the initiative to ask for peace with the two small countries!

The envoy groveled to Shu for peace, and Liu Bei was about to quit the army to recuperate, so he agreed.

So west of Tongguan, several large counties, Yongliang two large states all belonged to Shu Han.

Now in the territory of the Three Kingdoms, Wei is the first, and Shu has surpassed Wu and become the second.

When Wei envoys arrived at Lu Xun, they also sued for peace, and Lu Xun's troops also fought to the limit and urgently needed to rest.

Lu Xun was quite lacking in virtue and ordered Wei to pay money.

Of course, it was impossible for Wei to agree, but he was threatened by Wu, but he didn't dare to do anything to Wu.

Liu Bei is now in a state of complacency.

Both Sun Quan and Cao Pi were extremely depressed.

Especially Sun Quan, he is very afraid of his situation now! I'm even more afraid that those two powerful countries will unite to attack themselves!
